The Wedding of Zara Philiips

EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) — Queen Elizabeth II's granddaughter Zara Phillips married England rugby star Mike Tindall on Saturday — but Britain's second royal wedding of the year was largely a low-key affair, with only a hint of the glamor and excitement of Prince William's showstopping nuptials.

Phillips, 30, who is 13th in line to the throne but does not use a royal title, and Tindall, 32, were greeted by hundreds of flag-waving well-wishers and the sound of traditional bagpipes as they left their wedding service at Edinburgh's Canongate Kirk following a private ceremony.

The often publicity shy bride wore a traditional ivory silk gown and a full-length flowing veil, but posed only briefly for onlookers — and gave her husband a fleeting, modest kiss — as they left the 17th century church for a reception at the queen's Scottish residence, the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

Funeral of The 7th Earl of Harewood

IT was the end of an era, said one mourner as she left the village shop just yards from Harewood House to attend Lord Harewood’s funeral today.

A first cousin of the Queen, he had been lucky to escape with his life while a young man during the Second World War when his death warrant was personally signed by Hitler.
Having survived this setback - thanks to an SS soldier’s canny reading of the shifting times - George Lascelles comfortably rode out the rest of his life though it was not without its stormy moments.

Today the black and gold Harewood coat of arms flag flew at half mast as around 100 members of staff lined a road outside the stately home in warm sunshine and watched the funeral cortege pass by.
