Viscount Althorp and Victoria Lockwood's wedding
Laid-back Viscount Althorp was still in his dressing-gown in his house on the Althorp estate when head usher Dan Wiggin persuaded him to dress for the pre-wedding ushers' lunch. Despite torrential downpourings and tidal waves of pressmen (who had elevated them to royal status) the Althorps remained relaxed. Even when best man Darius Guppy couldn't be found shortly before he was due to speak, Dan Wiggin stepped in. With only 15 minutes to prepare, he extemporised so eloquently (with sisters PoW and Jane whispering encouragement) that gentle laughter rocked the stately dining-rooms of Althorp house.
