They might not be Lords of the Rings but the old magic was still there when John and Karyn Bailey reaffirmed their wedding vows.

John had a few problems getting the ring to fit on Karyn's finger at the druid ceremony in the back garden of their home in Canterbury Road, Worthing, on Saturday but the couple laughed off the small hitch.

Arch-Druid Colin Johnson invited guests to form a circle while high priestess Beverley Mercer performed the rites of the Wiccan hand fasting ceremony.

The couple had their hands tied together and stepped over a broom as part of the ancient ritual.
