Groom who ditched bride on day of their £12k wedding finally speaks out

A groom who abandoned his bride on the day of their £12,000 wedding has broken his silence - but refused to apologise for taking off. Kayley Stead, 27, made the brave decision to carry on with the celebrations without her partner of four years, Kallum Norton, after the 24-year-old ditched her before the ceremony on September 15.

Determined not to remember the day with "complete sadness", she partied with loved ones despite her heartbreak at Oxwich Bay Hotel in Gower, Swansea, Wales. With the support of her bridal party and family, Kayley pushed on with wedding entrance, meal, speeches, dances and even posed for professional photos on her own.

The Queen "put her foot down" after Charles only wanted himself and Prince William to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph for Remembrance Sunday, a new book claims. The late monarch shared a special bond with her eldest son, who became King Charles III following her death earlier this month, and tried her best to prepare him for life on the throne.

However, the mother and son didn't always see eye to eye on certain issues, the Mirror reports. In her latest book 'The New Royals', royal correspondent Kate Nicholl's explores their relationship - and recalls one incident when Her Majesty overruled her son's decision.

At the start of this year, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) launched a second review of the State Pension age, which is now 66 for both men and women across the UK. State Pension age is regularly reviewed to make sure that it is affordable and fair as people are living longer and spending a greater proportion of their adult life in retirement than in the past.

The DWP has previously explained the reason for the review is because "when the State Pension was introduced in 1948, a 65-year-old could expect to spend 13.5 years receiving the benefit, around 23 per cent of their adult life".
