A 1959 Wedding

A 1959 Wedding

Dating from 1959, this lovely image of the Yeates wedding with the returning bridal party. Can we have assistance with naming all of the party? Perhaps you were there and have happy memories of the event? Sue Lynn has advised: “Bride and Groom are Diana and Denis Yeates – Diana Woodall as was. Behind Diana is Heather Woodall, the bride’s sister. Both were my Dad’s daughters from his first marriage. Both are now deceased, not sure if Denis is still alive. Parents of the bride were Cec Woodall (my Dad) and Ella Dobson I think. The coincidence here is that in the previous picture Jenny Dickinson mother of the groom in that picture is cousins of the bride and her maid of honour Heather.” Barbara McBurney assists with: “The small bridesmaid at the front on the right is Sandra Watson (maiden name Flockton).”
