I saw this at lunch time! Very cool. It was a competition to “Win the Front Page”. Metro is read by a huge number of commuters on London’s trains and underground. A million people must have seen it.

Great story…. Congrats Jon Mark & Ben!

Problem is, now every long-lost relative from the East End, plus Snout-on-Stowe, Bumbleshire, & Bogrollcester will consider themselves invited! Solution? Hold the ceremony far far away. May I recommend Iowa?

Saw this as well. Pleasantly shocked when I saw someone reading it on the tube.
