A daring couple held their wedding on top of the wings of three planes - 1,000 feet above the ground.

Groom Darren McWalters, 24, stood on the top wing of a biplane while his bride Katie Hodgson, 23, flew along side on the wing of an identical aircraft - dressed in full bridal gown.

The Rev George Bringham flew ahead of the couple on the wings of a third aircraft and brought the Lancashire couple together in a ceremony which was played through loudspeakers at an airfield in Gloucestershire to the congregation waiting on the ground below.
