Royal wedding story prompts unusual headline

Squeezing a local news angle into the day's big story, the Bristol Evening Post carried the headline 'Tetbury man to wed' on its South Gloucestershire edition front page yesterday.

On other editions selling in Bristol and the surrounding area, the headline was the more conventional 'Charles and Camilla to wed'.

Editor Mike Lowe said: "While it was a huge national story for every newspaper, for the edition of the Evening Post that circulates in Tetbury, it was a very local story and local news still sells newspapers."

Highgrove House near Tetbury, in Gloucestershire, has been the private residence of The Prince of Wales since 1980.
