GOD bless Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Nearly 150 employees at GL Saunders motor component packaging plant in Arrowdale Road, Redditch, put in hours of unpaid overtime to decorate themselves and their factory to celebrate the royal wedding on Wednesday.

Managing director Bob Saunders, famed for his support on all things British, joined the workers in a rousing three cheers for the royal couple at a lunchtime party last Friday.

In Wythall, street parties, fancy dress and children's events gave a royal wedding day of fun to the village.

And throughout the area, one toast was heard - to the Prince and Princess of Wales, Charles and Diana.
