EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the hilarious predicament of renowned comedian Spike Milligan as he desperately races along the road to make it to St Paul's Cathedral on time. The occasion? None other than the momentous wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, a highly anticipated event that captured the world's attention on July 29th, 1981. As fate would have it, Spike found himself momentarily distracted by his adoring fans lining the street. Unable to resist their cheers and greetings, he stepped out of his luxurious Rolls Royce to acknowledge them. Little did he know that his beloved vehicle had other plans in store for him! Much to everyone's amusement, the car continued its journey without its famous passenger. With no choice but to rely on his own two feet, Spike embarked on an impromptu sprint through the bustling crowds. His comedic timing was impeccable as always; laughter echoed through the streets as people watched in awe at this unexpected spectacle unfolding before their eyes. Even amidst all this chaos and running late for such a grand affair, Spike managed to find humor in every step. The police officers present couldn't help but chuckle at this comical turn of events. This photograph encapsulates not only a memorable moment from one of Britain's most iconic weddings but also showcases Spike Milligan's unique ability to bring joy and laughter wherever he goes – even when faced with unforeseen challenges like chasing after his runaway Rolls Royce!
