Politician George Osborne married his former aide Thea Rodgers in a 14th century church in a sleepy Somerset village but it wasn't long before Just Stop Oil put in an appearance
Around 200 people, including a string of well-known politicians and journalists, attended the wedding of George Osborne to his long-term partner amid a mystery over an email apparently sent to guests.
Also present were Lord Hague and his wife Ffion, former health secretary Matt Hancock, ex-governor of the Bank of England Mark Carney, and Labour heavyweight Ed Balls with his wife Yvette Cooper, the shadow home secretary. After the smiling couple, who have two children together, emerged from the church as the bells rang, a smartly dressed woman showered them with orange confetti from a Union flag paper bag.
Just Stop Oil has since taken credit for the disruption, with the group's Twitter account retweeting a video of the incident and writing: “You look good in orange George Osborne — congratulations to the newlyweds.”
