    Concorde in service for weddings

    A Concorde passenger jet has been brought back into use in Surrey - as a wedding venue.

    Surrey County Council said love was in the air at Brooklands Motorsport and Aviation Museum, where couples could now tie the knot on the aircraft.

    Business manager Jan Knott said the council used to receive weekly requests to get married on the aircraft when Concorde was in service.

    Concorde completed its last commercial passenger flight in October 2003.

    Councillor Denise Saliagopoulos said: "We were more than happy to provide a civil wedding licence that will mean this much-loved icon of the air can continue to be a place for happy memories long into its retirement."

    It is hoped the first wedding will soon be held on board - giving the grounded aircraft a new role 40 years after its first supersonic flight.
