Recently i took a short break with my family to Northumberland, and one of the attractions on our list of things to do was to visit Alnwick Castle - mainly because of its links to the filming of the Harry potter movies and my daughter is a big Harry Potter fan.
Back in February Lady Katie Percy, daughter of the Duke of Northumberland, married City financier Patrick Valentine ,the ceremony was later followed by a reception at her family's Alnwick Castle.
Lady Katie Percy, daughter of the Duke of Northumberland, married City financier Patrick Valentine, followed by a reception at her family's Alnwick Castle, which doubles as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films.
She travelled the short distance down Bailiffgate, Alnwick, in Northumberland, from the castle to St Michael's Parish Church in a restored horse-drawn carriage.
Lady Katie, a 28-year-old former motorcycle mechanic and gunmaker, wore a beautiful Bruce Oldfield dress and was accompanied by her father in the carriage, which was drawn by two white horses.
Kate Middletons sister Pippa Middleton and Prince Harry's on off girlfriend Chelsey Davey were among the guests.
Lady Katie's stunning dress, and the restored coach can be seen on display at the castle.
