It was basically a sombre twist on the wedding from Love Actually, wasn’t it?

Only, you know, without the trumpets. Or the trained gospel choir. Or the happy smiling faces.

Anyway, while we kind of liked it (hey, at least it was entertaining!), we were in a minority.

At least somebody out there paid homage to Charlie Cotton’s vocal prowess.

Well, he is a former musical theatre star - you’d hope he could carry a tune!
