The wedding of Charles and Diana

Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer

On 29 July 1981, Lady Diana Spencer married the Prince of Wales at St Paul’s Cathedral. These owner-supplied photographs place the ceremony within the cathedral’s richly ornamented setting.

The wedding is documented royal history. These views include historic ironwork, but not every visible architectural element is attributed to Jean Tijou.
