MND sufferer Simon Binner prepares to end his life in Swiss clinic today

Simon Binner, 57 (pictured with his wife Debbie), who has aggressive motor neurone disease, travelled to Basel over the weekend where he will die today at the Eternal Spirit clinic with his wife Debbie at his bedside. This morning, his daughter Hannah - who is due to take over her father's business - posted an emotional message above a photograph of her parents with the caption: 'My beautiful inspirations' (pictured inset). It came as other friends took to social media to bid farewell to Mr Binner, describing him as a 'brave' and 'courageous man'
. One wrote: 'He has taken a brave and public stand on the right to end his life with dignity.' Another said: 'Stay strong my friend.' The father-of-three, who was described as a 'high energy workaholic' before the condition rapidly took hold of his body, was seen last night sharing a joke with his wife of 14 years as they spent a final evening together around the Swiss city. Mr Binner's 85-year-old mother is also believed to have boarded the plane to Switzerland to say goodbye to her son.
