Most brides dream of arriving at their weddings by horse and carriage or in a luxury car - but not this Carshalton woman.

Lorna Jones and her new husband David 'Ozzy' Osborne had a wedding with a difference at the weekend.

Having arrived at the Hope Pub in Carshalton at the head of a cavalcade of motorbikes, the pair took part in a traditional pagan ceremony.

The cavalcade of bikers arrives at The Hope

Mr Osborne and Mrs Jones met six years ago. Mr Osborne, 63, has been a biker since he was 16 but Mrs Jones, although she always liked motorbikes, has only been riding since she met her now husband online and moved from Snowdonia in Wales to Sutton.

After their grand arrival at The Hope, the pair took part in a handfasting ceremony - an ancient tradition in which the bride and groom's hands are tied together with ribbon.

Mrs Jones said: "We didn't want a formal wedding so we got everyone to come in their biker gear.

"It all went really well. I was worried about the weather but that was fantastic. The handfasting was lovely, it was really nice, and I think everyone had a really great time.

"Afterwards we went to see a live band at the Windsor Castle [in Carshalton Road] and it was brilliant. It was a great day."

The pair plan to go on honeymoon later in the year.

Prior to the ceremony at The Hope, the couple left their home in Paget Avenue at the head of the cavalcade and went to the register office at Sutton Council before leading the parade of bikes back to Carshalton.
