The racing vicar


A vicar made a mile-long dash to collect wedding rings after a bridesmaid forgot them.

The Rev Chris McQuillen-Wright came to the rescue after groom Chris Smith, 34, arrived at the church and found that bridesmaid Paula Davies had left the pair of gold bands at the home of bride Lucy Rid, 28.

Paula had decided to look after the rings because she thought husband James - the best man - would forget them.

After realising Paula's mistake Mr McQuillen-Wright sprinted across fields to pick up the rings, completing the round trip in just over five minutes.

According to The Sun he said: "I was happy to help. I got a round of applause."

Bride Lucy said: "Thankfully, the vicar got back to the church before I arrived."
