County Durham football coach gets sweet surprise from his team on his wedding day

A football coach from County Durham got a special surprise from his team when they turned up on his wedding day and formed a guard of honour.

If bride Charlotte Hunter was hoping for a football-free wedding day with her fiancé Connor Herron then his team of young players put paid to that with a special surprise. Coxhoe United Under-14s decided to turn up and form a guard of honour for their much-loved coach and his new wife.

The players lined up at the entrance to Durham's register office, in Aykley Heads, to greet Connor and Charlotte after their wedding ceremony on Friday. The team - and their parents - applauded and cheered as the couple walked out together before the shocked groom high-fived everyone and invited the boys to join him and Charlotte for some photographs.
