Many years ago I was invited to a wedding at Rugby Registry Office. Nothing very special about that, but the day was enlivened by the arrival of a friend of mine and his wife. The wife was carrying a cine-camera (that shows how long ago it was) and she said she hoped the marriage we were about to witness would last longer than the previous one. The groom's previous marriage, also at Rugby Registry Office, had broken down before the camera toting lady had had the film developed.
Following the ceremony the wedding party set off for the matrimonial home. The immediate problem we faced was getting past the geese into the bungalow. Geese are not only noisy and aggressive, but very messy. Once inside it was not a good idea to leave the safe haven and inspect the garden.
The journey home was trouble free. The car radio was on and a reporter was commenting on the outbreak of a small fire under the stand at Bradford City Football Club. Soon, the whole stand was aflame and many died. A sombre end to the day.
Below is a link to the television report on the fire.
