BURY's Fusilier Association Corps of Drums helped family and friends celebrate the marriage of former Fusilier soldier Mr Ian David Hadfield to Miss Emma Louise Long.

They wowed guests with their spectacular lights show at the wedding reception at the Bolholt Country Park Hotel in Walshaw. The couple were married at Bury Parish Church by the Rector of Bury, Dr John Findon.

Mr Hadfield is the son of Roy and Joan Hadfield, of Limefield Road, Radcliffe. Mr Simon Thompson was best man and Mr Ryan Long was the usher. The pageboys were Masters Alfie Hadfield, Dillan Norton, Brandon Hadfield, the bridegroom's nephew, and Kian Thompson.

The bride is the daughter of Mr and Mrs Chris and Pat Long, of Canning Street, Bury. Her maid of honour was Miss Allison Norton. The bridesmaids were Miss Lindsay Jackson and Mrs Paula Thompson. Miss Macy Norton was the flowergirl.

Following the reception, the newlyweds jetted off on a two-week honeymoon in Calella on the Costa Brava, Spain.
