- Prime minister Andy Burnham sent a surprise video message to a newlywed couple after the bride publicly asked him to stay away from No 10 North on their wedding day.
- Heron House, which houses the register office where Sarah Burwin was married, is also the site of the Prime Minister's new regional outpost in Manchester .
- Ms Burwin had previously filmed a light-hearted message asking Mr Burnham to refrain from attending with police escorts so the heightened security presence would not disrupt her wedding.
- Although Mr Burnham honoured her request to stay out of the way, he recorded a personal video wishing the couple well and joking that a potential DJ set would have to wait for another occasion.
- The newly opened No 10 North facility is central to Mr Burnham's devolution strategy to decentralise power from Westminster , and it will also host meetings for the relaunched National Economic Council .
