School throws royal wedding complete with vicar, vintage car and flags

A primary school has celebrated Harry and Meghan's big day in style by throwing their very own royal wedding.

The lavish ceremony at Crawford Village Primary School in Lancashire saw Luna and Alfie, both six years old, tie the knot in front of a real vicar.

Their classmates lined the street and waved flags as the bride arrived for the service with her father in a vintage Triumph Stag.

Luna and Alfie chose Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean? for their first dance.

The bride and groom, as well as the bridal party, were chosen in a random draw to make it fair - and the school's older children had an instrumental role in the wedding planning.
