Joan Lloyd , 67, promised terminally ill hubby David in 2010 she would get a F-cup boob job and  find love again  with a younger man.   Fiancé Phil Absolom popped the question during a  romantic holiday  to the  Canary Islands  after meeting the great-granny over the internet.   She said : From the first moment I met Phil I felt butterflies and we just clicked.
