A CASTEL couple have turned their collection of Minis into wedding cars as part of a display outside the front of their home to celebrate the Royal Wedding.

As well as bunting and ribbons, there is a table and chairs with champagne set up outside Kay and Frank Coates’ home in honour of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Mrs Coates, 69, said she had done most of the work with the help of her cousin, Wendy Duchemin, who lives in Sussex, but who is currently on holiday in Guernsey.

She said it all started when Ms Duchemin arrived to stay, bringing reams of bunting with her.
