Reality TV star Jade Goody has begun planning her wedding to her fiance Jack Tweed.
The 27-year-old, who was told on Friday that her cancer had become terminal, briefly left the Royal Marsden Hospital in a wheelchair to exchange engagement rings with Tweed, 21.
The couple then visited Harrods where the reality TV star picked out a "beautiful" wedding dress, a gift from the store's owner Mohamed Al Fayed.
Sir Elton John is reported to have offered one of his homes as the location for the ceremony and messages of help and support have been sent by Jonathan Ross, Simon Cowell and Dale Winton.
Speaking on Sky News this afternoon, Goody's friend and publicist Max Clifford said: "This has given her something to think about, a happy event.
"The wedding, the Christening of her two boys, these are all positive things to focus on as opposed to the cancer and what is happening to her and what she is going through."
Mr Clifford gave no hint about when or where the wedding and Christening will take place.
He said: "After they exchanged rings they went to Harrods where she picked out the most beautiful, in her words, wedding dress.
He said: "Just about every person I have spoken to in the last week has sent their love."
He added: "Everything will be done in the time ahead to make life as good as possible for as long as possible. She has been in a lot of pain but (the doctors) are doing everything they can to get on top of it."
Mr Clifford said the star is determined to "keep busy" and secure her children's future.
He said she told him: "Max, I know I'm ignorant but I want my boys to have the best possible education money can buy and I am going to make sure that I do that for them so that when they grow up they know that mum did that."
