Sarah Ferguson and Queen Elizabeth II's son Prince Andrew's royal wedding at Westminster Abbey on 23 July 1986 is one of the most recognisable weddings of all time, with a worldwide TV audience of 500 million, but there is one archived photo that you may not have seen.
The bride chose lots of young bridesmaids and page boys to accompany her down the aisle, including family members such as Sarah's half-siblings Alice, six, and Andrew, eight, and her ex-husband Prince Andrew's nieces and nephews, Zara Phillips, five, Peter Phillips, eight, and Prince William, four.

Sarah looked beautiful in an ivory-silk wedding dress by British courtier Lindka Cierach, which featured puff sleeves and a long train with the couple's initials A and S intertwined and sewn in silver beads.
The bride added a floral headband that obscured her floral-shaped diamond wedding tiara, the York tiara from Garrard, which she revealed following the ceremony. After a lavish wedding party at Claridges Hotel, Andrew and Sarah – who both did unexpected outfit changes ahead of their travels – went off on their honeymoon to the Azores Islands.
