There wasn't a dry eye in the House of Lords yesterday afternoon when a former Cabinet minister delivered an emotional speech about her battle with cancer.
Her moving words got a standing ovation,eroticism in song of songs and has since been hailed "one of the most emotional speeches" heard in Parliament for years.
Tessa Jowell, who's undergoing treatment for brain cancer, talked about coming to terms with the end of her own life, and appealed to the government to back a new cancer treatment.

"Seamus Heaney's last words were 'noli timere.' Do not be afraid," she said. "I am not afraid. I am fearful that this new and important approach may be put into the 'too difficult' box, but I also have such great hope."
She spoke about how "so many cancer patients collaborate and support" one another each day.
"They create that community of love and determination that they find each other everyday," she said. "All we now ask is that doctors and health systems learn to do the same, and for us to work together to learn from each other."
"In the end, what gives a life meaning is not only how it is lived, but how it draws to a close," concluded Jowell.
Some peers appeared to brush away tears as Jowell spoke, and every single member of the house took to their feet once Jowell had finished.
