"'Fare' maiden Beth Knowles eschewed centuries-old tradition – by arriving for her nuptials on an old-style London bus.

The blushing bride opted not for a chauffeur-drive car, and instead walked down the aisle of the red double-decker with her father Peter and six bridesmaids.

Beth tied the knot with hubby Alan Creedon, 30, at Heron House registry office in Manchester city centre.

The ceremony took place at 1.30pm last Saturday, June 2, after which the 70 wedding guests hopped on the bus with the bride and groom to be taken to the reception at the Carlton Club in Whalley Range."
