Red Devils land at Wedding
Guests who drop into wedding receptions or ceremonies in an unusual manner are not always welcome guests but for one couple in Cumbria their special guests dropped in from above!
Twenty eight year old Corporal Michael French had just married his bride, twenty seven year old Claire at the St Mary’s Church in Gosforth when the Red Devils wanted to send their congratulations the best way they knew how with six of them parachuting on to the Gosforth cricket pitch in front of two hundred spectators. After landing, Sergeant Jay Webster, the team leader, gave a salute to the newlywed couple.
The couple had originally planned to be married on the islands of Hawaii but they decided that they wanted a family wedding instead. After being married, they celebrated their reception in a marquee at the Westlakes Hotel.
Michael, who has recently joined the Red Devils has yet to be involved in any displays and will soon be starting out on his training in California for a period of six weeks.
