WHEN celebrated artist Alison Lapper began making plans for her wedding, her dream was for her son Parys to give her away.
But the troubled teenager, whose mother became famous when she posed for a Trafalgar Square sculpture while eight months pregnant with him, died last month, aged 19. Now Alison, born without arms and with shortened legs, is setting up The Parys Lapper Foundation in his memory. In a creative tribute to her late son, she is to make a diamond for her wedding band, using Parys's ashes and a lock of his hair, and wear the ring on her toe.
