The wedding story:
This is a photo of myself signing the wedding register (1956). Kate Middleton turned up in the same dress design half a century on, marrying Prince William no less! and so the fashion circle turns. When Kate stepped from the car and we had a first glimpse of her gown, my phone got a little work out from people that had seen my dress!
