Prince William was present, but without Kate, who was suffering from cancer, as well as King Charles, godfather of the groom.

Thousands of people have crowded the streets of Chester since the morning. Grosvenor, aristocrat, billionaire, 33, and Henson, 31, rewarded the wait by kissing outside the cathedral once the ceremony concluded. Again as a reward, ice creams were distributed to everyone.

The two were quickly taken away by the police and booed by onlookers.
