Some women wear the trousers in their relationships - but Linda Hempstead will be wearing them on her wedding day, too.

The 61-year-old of Fern Way, Jaywick, is holding a mock wedding with her friend, Roy Evans, in aid of charity, where she will don a suit and he will be dressed to the nines in a big white frock.

Linda, who volunteers with Roy at the over-60s club at Golf Green Hall in Jaywick, came up with the idea of the wedding when she jokingly proposed to him on February 29.
