Darren Kiley and Nicola King get the royal treatment in Cowley in 1981
TWO weeks before images of Prince Charles and Lady Diana were broadcast across the world, a pair of five-year-olds had their own royal wedding.
Darren Kiley and Nicola King, of St Christopher's First School, Cowley, received a regal welcome in July 1981.
The celebrations formed part of a special day for the school, with then Lord Mayor of Oxford, Henry Nimmo, visiting the school to present gifts to two retiring staff members.
