Duke of Westminster's new wife Olivia Henson beams in official photos from the society wedding of the year that starred Prince William as an usher.

Princess Eugenie was photographed wearing a daring black dress as she boarded the coach taking guests to the Duke and Duchess of Westminster's wedding party yesterday. The 34-year-old royal changed out of a chic sage green frock she wore while attending the marriage service of Hugh Grosvenor, 33, and Olivia Henson, 31, at Chester Cathedral. Mother-of-two Eugenie, who is the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson , was among the 400 guests at the nuptial do dubbed the 'society wedding of the year'. Following the service, guests were seen leaving the venue in coaches to go to a lavish reception at the Grosvenor family seat, Eaton Hall, just outside Chester. The newlyweds have kept details of the party under wraps, though it has been reported that guests tucked into lemon cake during the bash. Eugenie looked glamorous in a black maxi dress, featuring short sleeves and colourful floral embroidery down its front as she made her way to the post-wedding event. (Pictured: Princess Eugenie).

As Taylor Swift blooms from within the petals of a giant flower into the middle of the stage at Murrayfield Stadium, it is difficult to know who is more excited: my 11-year-old daughter, by now covered head to toe in the very expensive Eras Tour merchandise we just queued an hour and a half for, or me, her 40-something mother covered in HRT patches. Like around 95 per cent of the record-breaking audience, we are both covered in sequins. Indeed, it is unlikely that the home of Scottish rugby has ever seen anything quite like this before - 73,000 people, predominantly female, dressed in a variety of outfits so fabulous they make a Pride parade look understated. As the sun pokes out from behind the clouds, the wind-whipped audience are transformed into human glitter balls, their clothes reflecting light off one another, a special effect almost as spectacular as the fireworks that will close the show, an epic three and a half hours later.

Noa, who was dramatically taken hostage by Hamas on the back of a motorcycle on October 7, was among four hostages rescued in a dramatic firefight with IDF forces earlier today. Emotional scenes showed Noa, 26, reunited with her father on his birthday - the first time in more than half a year that they had seen each other since her capture from the Supernova Music Festival. Video showed Noa reintegrating back into civilian life, pictured hugging her father and sharing a Coca Cola - and calling with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to express her relief. Noa will now hope to be able to see her mother, Liora Argamani, who has repeatedly shared her prayers to see her daughter again since her diagnosis with stage 4 cancer. The operation to rescue Noa was the largest and most successful of the war so far. Almog Meir Jan, 21, Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 40, were also recovered in a daytime operation in two separate locations in the heart of Nuseirat. 

Thousands of people lined the streets and cheered as Si King led the 36-mile-long procession of grieving bikers into the town centre less than eight hours after they set off from the Ace Café in London. Dave's widow Lili earlier today praised the efforts of fellow motorcyclists who have so-far smashed fundraising targets for cancer and children's charities, who will benefit from today's event. Jason 'Woody' Woodcock, the organiser of the Dave Day ride from London to Barrow said there could have been up to 30,000 riders involved in the last leg. He said: 'Everybody said it couldn't be done. We would never be able to move all those people and keep to time. Yet we did it and not a minute late. I am emotionally drained but really happy. I promised to put a few bikes together for Dave and thanks to the bike community and the people of Barrow we have done it. It is amazing what can be done when people come together. The politicians should take note.'

Phoebe Dynevor put on a loved-up display with her fiancé Cameron Fuller as they enjoyed a romantic yacht trip in St. Tropez on Thursday.  The Bridgerton star, 29, went topless as she soaked up the Mediterranean sunshine during the couple's holiday. Phoebe, who played Daphne Bridgerton on the Netflix series, wore a pair of blue denim shorts and a patterned bikini top.

The young African mother's last moments must have been terrifying. With her tiny daughter Beatrice tied in a shawl on her back, Masiya Banda was chased across a field by a rampaging elephant which then trampled her to death, tossing the child like a rag doll on to the sun-baked ground. The charging beast had arrived at Masiya's Malawi farm in a herd from a nearby national park where 263 elephants were sent to live less than a year earlier. Playing a key role in the relocation were two charities, International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), which helped finance the move, and African Parks which helped execute it and where Prince Harry is on the board of directors and is a former president. Masiya's distraught father, 55-year-old Ngoma Banda, blames both the organisations for her death near the park last June.

Julian Wood, 3, (left) was stabbed to death and his mother Margot, 38, (inset) wounded after Bionca Ellis, 32, spotted them at a Giant Eagle supermarket in Cleveland, turned, and followed them out the door (right). Less than six minutes later, Julian was bleeding to death on the parking lot asphalt as a badly wounded Margot pleaded with paramedics: 'don't worry about me'. Much of those minutes of terror from 2.58 to 3.04pm on June 2, and the chilling scenes that came before and after, were laid bare on newly released CCTV and police bodycam.

Kate Middleton has apologised for missing out on a key rehearsal for Trooping The Colour. The Princess of Wales has written a letter to the Irish Guards, who are presenting their colours to the King this year, saying: 'I hope I am able to represent you all very soon'. Insiders have long emphasised that every cancer 'journey' is individual and believe speculation over whether Kate will attend key events such a trooping create unnecessary pressure at a time when she has asked for space and privacy. It means the Princess of Wales will miss what would have been her first Colonel's Review, which had been due to take place today. The event is a dress rehearsal for Trooping The Colour and would have seen her take the salute as the new Colonel-in-Chief of the Irish Guards. 

Heidi Klum and her ex-husband Seal reunited as they both attended their son Henry's high school graduation in Pacific Palisades, California on Friday. The former couple married in 2005 and announced they were separating after seven years in 2012. Their divorce was finalised two years later. Both the German supermodel, 51, and the British singer, 61, looked in good spirits at the ceremony where they posed for pictures with their 18-year-old son.

Penny Mordaunt and Angela Rayner clashed over taxes and Trident last night in the fiery seven-way BBC election debate. The event descended into chaos when the Labour deputy leader and Tory Commons leader butted heads over the claim that a Labour government would add £2,000 to a family's annual tax bill - as Rayner branded Mordaunt a 'liar' multiple times. However new policies were being tossed around by all Party's including the Greens promised £30billion more in funding to health services, Reform UK pushed hard for more 'Stop and Searches' and a crackdown on immigration while the Lib Dems would increase defence spending year-on-year. But what would you do if you were in the hotseat for a day? Well MailOnline took to the streets of London , Birmingham and Sunderland to hear your Prime Ministerial plans.

Taylor Swift refused to continue performing in Edinburgh on Friday after noticing a fan in distress in the crowd. The billionaire songstress, 34, was in the middle of singing Would've, Could've, Should've to a crowd of over 70,000 in Murrayfield when she noticed a fan causing concern.  In footage captured on social media, Taylor continued to strum her guitar, before saying: 'Need help right in front of me, right in front of me please. 

The 34-year-old megastar drove 72,990 Swifties wild on Friday night as she emerged at Murrayfield Stadium to perform a t hree-hours plus epic in the first of 15 UK shows that will stretch out across the summer. Over the course of 46 songs, she shook off a cramp in her hand, gifted a fan her hat and even suspended a tune so fans could receive medical aid. But perhaps the most special moment of the night came when the pop icon witnessed a live proposal in the audience. Footage posted online shows the two women hugging and kissing each other with beaming smiles after the proposal while Swift performs her song 'Cardigan'.

Lila Moss looked nothing short of sensational as she enjoyed a boat trip with her friends while on holiday in Ibiza on Friday. The model, 21, who is the daughter of Kate Moss, showcased her jaw-dropping figure as she slipped into a burgundy bikini while soaking up the sun on the Spanish island. Letting her blonde locks fall loose down her shoulders, Lila wore a gold necklace for the outing as she displayed her sun-kissed tan. 

The supervisor of the Nasa support team seeing the crew into the Challenger space shuttle on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral had a very special present for one of the seven - a red apple for the most famous teacher in the world. Bubbly, auburn-haired, girl-next-door Christa McAuliffe, a smiley social studies teacher from Concord, New Hampshire , had been selected from some 11,000 applicants to be the first civilian in space - a stunt intended to revive flagging public interest in space exploration by making it seem accessible to ordinary people. The plan was for her to teach two 20-minute lessons from the shuttle, transmitted live to Earth from orbit. One, titled The Ultimate Field Trip, would conclude with a five-minute Q&A with her class back in Concord. She would also conduct six science demonstrations recorded on video and distributed by Nasa to an audience of 18.5 million U.S. schoolchildren. As a public relations exercise, the Teacher In Space Project was already a massive hit. Some 800 journalists - twice as many as usual - had signed up to be at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida for the launch. The world was watching, just as excited as Christa at this new giant step for mankind.

Life in the limelight for global superstar and pop princess Agnetha Faltskog was not all glittering stages and trendy dance numbers. The ABBA singer, 74, rose to international stardom after the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest alongside her bandmates Benny Andersson, Anni-Frid Lyngstad and her then-husband Björn Ulvaeus. As the youngest member of one of the best-selling music acts in history, the blonde bombshell won hearts with her catchy tunes and girly on-stage get-up, before it all came crashing down. The Swedish popstar traded sparkly go-go boots for wellies when she fled the spotlight to live as a recluse on a farm, and was thrown into a pit of depression when her mother took her life in 1994 and her father died just a year later. And in the midst of it all, Faltskog became embroiled in a shocking two year affair with her stalker - a man 16 years her junior, before he was thrown behind bars in the early 2000s.

It has been the home of kings and queens and the playground of a future monarch. Royal Lodge - now in the spotlight amid the alleged refusal of current occupant Prince Andrew (inset bottom, earlier this month) to move out - has stood in its current form since the 19th century. Situated in 98 acres in Windsor Great Park, the property was once known as King's Lodge but its name was changed by the Duke of Cumberland when he became King George IV in 1820. William IV demolished part of Royal Lodge and, for sixty years, senior members of the Royal Household used it mainly as a 'grace-and-favour' home. In 1931, King George V gave permission for his son, Prince Albert, the Duke of York, and his wife to take over the property and they moved in the following year. They used the 30-room Royal Lodge as a private country house, even after they became Duke and King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1936. Princess Elizabeth and her sister Margaret spent many happy days playing in the grounds and making use of Y Bwthyn Bach - the miniature thatched cottage that was given to the future Queen by the people of Wales to mark her sixth birthday in 1932.

The Duchess of Edinburgh came face-to-face with knitted versions of herself and her husband at the Royal Windsor Flower Show earlier today. Sophie, 59, donned a green midi dress featuring a white floral design during her appearance at the event. The royal, who was pictured smiling as she made her way around the show, paired her frock with light grey wedge heeled espadrilles. Sophie accessorised with simple dangling earrings, which appeared to feature opal stones, as well as a dainty gold necklace and matching bracelet. Her blonde tresses were pulled into a chic, low bun, and she opted for a natural make-up look to complete her ensemble (pictured: Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh at the Royal Windsor Flower Show with Alan Titchmarsh and Dame Mary Berry).
