There had been a great deal of speculation about the Royal Wedding, including a lot about the dress of the bride to be, which had been kept secret until Saturday.

A new film about the iconic gay designer is expected to be released later this year, including exclusively-revealed home video footage.
On May 2, the trailer for the upcoming biopic McQueen hit our screens, which tell the story of a child who had no links to the rag trade, but opted to start working aged 16 for Savile Row tailors Anderson & Sheppard.
