A couple have held their wedding reception at a service station in Surrey. Along with 42 guests, Stacey and her partner, Graham, celebrated their union at what they say is their favourite venue in the world – Cobham services on the M25. The bride said it had fulfilled a childhood dream as she had always wanted a “fast-food” wedding with the party being treated to McDonald’s.

A rehearsal for a dramatic adaptation of the gothic-horror novel Frankenstein ended with police being called, after a concerned couple overheard the bloodcurdling screams. The Bradfordians Dramatic Society in Wiltshire were rehearsing a scene in which the monster “bludgeons someone to death”, at 9.30pm on Saturday night in the Tithe Barn in Bradford-on-Avon. Wiltshire Police said: “Officers attended the scene and found the screaming was in fact part of a theatrical group rehearsing inside the venue.”
