DUKE OF NORFOLK MARRIED
AMAZING SCENES AT LONDON
WEDDING
LONDON, January 27
Brompton Oratory to-day witnessed London's most brilliant wedding for years, when more than 2000 guests attended the marriage of the Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal of England, and the Hon. Lavinia Strutt, only daughter of Lord Belpcr and the Countess of Rosebery- ,' ■ ' The bride's retinue wore frocks in the Duke's racing colours, sky "blue splashed with scarlet. The bride's gown was of heavy silver cloth cut on slim, close-fitting lines. As the bride has not yet been received into the Roman Catholic Church, there was no celebration of Nuptial Mass. . The 1100 presents include J gilts from the King and Queen and other members of the Royal Family. There were amazing scenes outside the bride's home in Berkeley square and at Brompton Oratory. The crowds, numbering thousands, mostly women, stampeded to obtain a sight of the bride. Many fell on the roadways, which were Jitterea with hats, umbrellas, and bags, and others were crushed against the railings screaming hysterically. The police cordons were broken, but order was restored by mounted police.
