Former enemies, united by love – these outfits were worn by German Sigrid Krueger and British Army officer on their wedding day in 1990. Anthony was serving in West Germany as part of the occupying forces when the couple met in an Anglo-German choir.

In the early years of the occupation, British soldiers were explicitly banned from marrying Germans, though many did anyway.

Their wedding took place in Minden – itself the site of a historic victory for an Anglo-German alliance in 1759 during the Seven Years War.
