Katharine McPhee dazzled in a strapless ruffled gown as she married music producer David Foster in London on Friday. The actress, 35, looked stunning in the vintage-inspired look as she arrived at the St. Yeghiche Armenian Apostolic Church in Kensington for the ceremony, eleven months after the couple first announced their engagement. Earlier today, Katharine, 35, confirmed on Instagram that she would be tying the knot with David, 69, as she paid tribute to her husband-to-be with a sweet throwback video.

Of course, nobody expected the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (inset) to renovate their new home, Frogmore Cottage (main), on a shoestring. But when it emerged that Prince Harry and Meghan have so far spent a whopping £2.4 million of public funds on their home improvements, reaction ranged from confusion to anger. It is believed costly elements of the extensive home refurbishment included repointing the centuries-old chimney stacks (top right) to accommodate fashionable log burners, and a floating kitchen floor because of building restrictions (bottom right).

Retired Detective Superintendent Ian Crampton (top right), in charge for the first three days of the inquiry, and retired Detective Chief Superintendent William Ilsley (top centre), who supervised him, were questioned this week over claims they committed misconduct in public office during the initial stages of the probe. It follows a multi-million-pound investigation by the National Crime Agency - Britain's version of the FBI - into why officers in charge of the first Met investigation into 18-year-old Stephen's (left) murder in 1993 did not make arrests for two weeks, despite officers repeatedly being given the names of suspects. Two other senior officers involved in the widely criticised first investigation - retired Detective Superintendent Brian Weeden (bottom right) and retired Detective Inspector Ben Bullock (bottom centre) - are due to be questioned under caution for alleged misconduct in public office in the coming weeks. All four former officers strenuously deny committing any offences, with supporters claiming they are victims of a 'politically motivated witch-hunt'.

Princess Haya Al Hussein (main with Sheikh Maktoum) is believed to have initially sought political asylum in Germany after a diplomat helped her 'escape' from Dubai. It is believed that Germany authorities refused a request from her husband Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Maktoum (bottom left inset, meeting the Queen at Royal Ascot alone) to return his wife to Dubai. She hasn't been seen in public since May 20 and was noticeably absent from last week's Royal Ascot, which she usually attends with her husband. The worrying reports come are reminiscent of the disappearance of Princess Latifa bint Mohammed Al Maktoum (left), one of the Sheikh's children from another wife, who was detained off the coast of India after attempting to flee to America as a political asylum seeker in March last year.

The moment Princess Diana (pictured left in 1980) stepped out of her limo at the Vanity Fair Summer Party at the Serpentine Gallery in Hyde Park on this very day 25 years ago, she seemed more confident, stunning and serene than she had ever done before (pictured right). Everyone there agreed she had never looked more sensational. It was exactly the reaction she had planned, for that same evening 14million were watching her estranged husband Prince Charles admit to Jonathan Dimbleby (pictured together inset) on TV that after his marriage had irretrievably broken down he had committed adultery.

Photographers tell the stories behind some of the most famous pictures. One image shows the look of love she gave Harry in 1995, left, while it also includes the only picture there is of Diana and Elton John together, apart from at Gianni Versace's funeral. A snap sees the fashionable royal as she arrives at a charity dinner in a daring black taffeta dress in 1981 (inset). The black taffeta dress was by Elizabeth and David Emanuel, who would go on to design her wedding dress. 'She had to lean down to get out and this was the first and last time that she exposed that much flesh', photographer Richard Young said.

Mark Lucraft QC said he would not be criticising MI5 and the police in his conclusions, but did note the lack of barriers on the bridge, a 'particularly vulnerable' site. However, the victims' families today said authorities were guilty of 'staggering' failings in the lead up to the tragedy and insisted it was 'preventable'. Pictured is nurse Helen Kennett (top right) who was caught up in the attack and helped victims; and Philippe Pigeard, father of victim Alexandre Pigeard, 26 (bottom right). The Met's Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu (left) paid tribute to the victims before praising the 'bravery' of his officers. He added that 'lessons had been learnt' from the tragedy. On the bottom row are the terrorists, from left to right: Khuram Shazad Butt, Rachid Redouane and Youssef Zaghba.

Meet the 12 girls set to bring football home to England in the women's World Cup this year. Including captain Steph Houghton (right), Lucy Bronze (left), Toni Duggan, Ellen White, Georgia Stanway, Alex Greenwood, Nikita Parris, Beth Mead, Rachel Daly, Karen Bardsley and coach Phil Neville (inset).

Sophie Turner looked every inch the glamorous bride-to-be as she was joined by her maid of honour Maisie Williams and her famous in-laws for a pre-wedding party at Hôtel La Mirande in Avignon, Provence, France on Friday night. The Game of Thrones star, 23, oozed Hollywood glamour as she wore a stunning red dress and wore a full face of make-up, which included a dark red lipstick and smokey eye-shadow ahead of her nuptials to husband Joe Jonas.  Sophie styled her blonde locks into a glossy blow-dried hairdo swept to one side as she was seen getting into a car to take her to the stunning pre-wedding party venue.

Britons are flocking to the beach today as the Saharan Bubble sends temperatures soaring with sunseekers set to bathe (two women sunbathing in Dorset today) in sweltering 81F by this afternoon. An enormous reservoir of hot air from the Sahara has engulfed much of Europe this week with temperatures set to reach up to 88F at the weekend. The Met Office (bottom centre) has stated that London and the south east of England will be the hottest areas, with the highest temperature of 2019 so far being felt in Norfolk on June 2, reaching a high of 84F.

Ms Johnson, 22, (left) was in a 'distressed state' shortly before she went missing on the Isle of Wight six days ago. A body was found during door-to-door searches of the Isle of Wight town of Wootton. Formal identification is ongoing but her next of kin have been informed. Local resident John Thorpe, 71, who lives near the PGL Little Canada adventure centre where she disappeared, said police were told she had an argument with a colleague before she disappeared. Rescue workers (top right) and Ms Johnson's family (bottom right) joined the search for Rosie before a body was found. Police said her death is not being treated as suspicious.

The 6th Earl of Carnarvon had a dramatic life which included helping save Highclere Castle, where Downton Abbey was filmed, as RICHARD KAY reveals. Pictured: The Earl with his first wife, Catherine Wendell. Two of his lovers: Actress Modesta Daly (left) and dancer Tilly Losch, who became his second wife. And (bottom right): The family seat of Highclere Castle, or Downton Abbey of the hit ITV TV series.

It has emerged that when he was aged just two and in his London home, he had shared a bath with his baby sister Sarah in which she drowned. 'It had no emotional impact on me because I honestly can't remember it at all, which was an enormous blessing,' he tells JAN MOIR before describing the devastation for his mother and father. His nanny, Dianne Brady, had left the infants playing in six inches of water for several minutes while she went into the kitchen to prepare the baby's supper. By the time she returned, the little girl, just ten months old, was dead. He is pictured with his wife Lucia in Lymington, Hampshire yesterday.

CELIA MONTAGUE: Indeed, I have good reason to believe that his model bus admission (sketch, inset) may have been an elaborate ruse. For I have seen Boris in the very act of creation. I know he loves painting; and, as a professional portrait and landscape painter, I can confirm that he is more skilled than you might think. Pictured: left, Boris's portrait of Celia. Right, Boris's self portrait.

Chelsea, 39, attended Pride Live's annual Stonewall Day celebration on Friday. The former first daughter was among the famous faces who took the stage near the iconic New York City gay bar the Stonewall Inn. The event commemorated the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Riots - an uprising that catalyzed the LGBTQ rights movement. Chelsea wore a billowy pink dress by Hatch and nude wedges to the celebration, which also kicked off WorldPride weekend. Lady Gaga, Alicia Keys, Donatella Versace, and Whoopi Goldberg were among the celebrities who addressed the crowd at the event.

A furious Theresa May confronted Vladimir Putin and told him to stop Russia's 'irresponsible and destabilising' meddling in world affairs during a frosty meeting at the G20 summit in Japan. Mrs May used the showdown to attempt to order the Russian President to modify his behaviour but her attempts were partially overshadowed by a scathing attack on the West launched by Mr Putin before they met. The stage was set for a particularly sour face-to-face meeting after the Russian President criticised Western views on gay rights, immigration and multiculturalism. But it got off to an even worse than expected start as an indignant and stony-faced Mrs May, apparently angry at Mr Putin's assault on European 'liberalism', barely looked at her opposite number as they shook hands.

John and Ann Scarle were found frozen to death in their home in Essex (inset) on October 11, 2016. Their step-daughters Deborah (left) and Anna (right) have been locked in a court battle to find out who died first. If Ann died first, Anna's father would have briefly inherited his wife's share of their home and £18,000 of savings. On his death therefore, the money should go to her. However Ann's daughter, Deborah, insists the order of deaths cannot be determined but the presumption must be that John died first because he was a decade older than his wife.

Sadly, I hear that the multi-millionaire property tycoon has now left his wife, Sue Vanner, (pictured left with Warren Todd) who made a generation of teenage hearts flutter when she was filmed lying naked under a pile of furs with Sir Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me, writes RICHARD EDEN. Bentley-driving Warren, 52, is understood to have found new love with a much younger blonde woman, known only as 'Anya', whom he met at the gym (right).

Sarah, Duchess of York, was in the row behind Tanya and Nadim Ednan-Laperouse (left), from west London, as they flew from Nice to Heathrow with their daughter Natasha's coffin in the hold. The teenager (right) died three years ago after suffering a reaction and going into shock on a flight when she unwittingly ate sesame seeds to which she was allergic.

Sarah Payne's (bottom left) mother Sara reflects on the shattering impact her daughter's murder had on her three surviving children in an ITV documentary presented by SUSANNA REID. Pictured is Sarah with her younger sister Charlotte (left); Charlotte today (bottom, middle); Sara and her partner Michael at a press conference after their daughter's disappearance (bottom right); and Susanna with Sara filming the documentary (top right).

Laura Alvarez the hard Left politician's third wife, was coming out of the Islington terraced home behind him this morning when, without him seeing, she turned to close an inner door at the property. With a car waiting to whisk him away from the glare of the lenses, Mr Corbyn (pictured) promptly shut the front door, leaving her stranded in the domestic vestibule. He then opened the garden gate, said a gruff good morning to waiting journalists and got in the car.

Nina Spencer and friend Toi were walking through Cambridge Circus towards the Palace Theatre in central London last week while making a video of themselves from a selfie stick to show friends. But after they had crossed the road, Toi looked inside her Louis Vuitton handbag and noticed her designer purse containing £400 in cash and her credit cards was missing. Devastated Toi and Ms Spencer, both from Thailand, watched back their video and were shocked to see a young woman put her hand into the bag and take the purse.

The comments come as parents call for metal detectors to be used daily at Starbank School, Birmingham after a member of staff was threatened with a knife. The school, which is described by Ofsted as 'impressive' and 'inspirational', has installed panic buttons over fear of attacks from pupils who 'act like gangsters' in the classroom. One parent, Mohammad Butt, 44, (bottom right inset) has three boys and a daughter at the school. He said that his 15-year-old son was attacked by 20 boys outside the building. Another father revealed that he was even threatened by a pupil and he said that his son has even been hit inside classes. Raf Ali (bottom inset left), 39, said: 'There's no respect here. Kids can do anything they want.' Main and bottom right, pupils are shown fighting in the school. Pictured top right, staff and union members hold a protest outside the school.

For generations the semi-nomadic Himba tribe have made the Otjize paste, a red substance (centre), to cover their braided hair and skin with. Its rich red colouring is meant to symbolise the earth and blood and is an ideal of beauty among the 50,000-strong tribe in western Kaokoland, northern Namibia. Pre-pubescent girls maintain their hair in two simple braids (left) called ozondato, the form being determined by her oruzo or the paternal clan she belongs to. And married women also add a headdress to their look, which is made from animal skins (right).

Footage shows the unidentified child's legs poking out of the prize slot at the base of the machine in an arcade on Ethnikis Antistasis street, Rhodes, as she wriggles into it. Another girl is heard laughing in amazement in the background as she watches the youngster stand up in the glass booth and grab one of the cuddly toys.

Shubham Mohite, 24, suffered a hairline fracture to his left femur and middle finger after slamming into another motorcyclist who was riding on the wrong side of the road. The other man sustained chest injuries in the horrific smash in Pune, west India. Footage caught on Mr Mohite's helmet camera shows the motorbike fan overtaking a white car before approaching a bend. A motorbike then speeds round the corner and ploughs straight into him. 'After the collision I found myself lying in the middle of the road surrounded by people', he said. Mr Mohite, who received treatment in hospital, said he is now scared to go out on his motorbike.

Not holding back, the video filmed in Toyko, Japan, shows the keeper throwing himself into the role as a full method actor, behaving just like an erratic polar bear would (pictured). The fake bear lunges at the visitors, mauling them and knocking them over as they laugh at the absurdity.

NASA's Apollo-era Mission Control has been restored to the way it looked 50 years ago when two men landed on the moon. Friday's grand opening - just three weeks shy of the 50th anniversary of humanity's first lunar footsteps - culminates years of work and millions in donations. It opens to the public Monday.The goal was 'to capture the look and feel of July of '69,' said NASA's restoration project manager Jim Thornton.

Joshua Bevan's dog Harlow ran in to bushes during a walk in Chasewater Country Park, Staffordshire, before reappearing with a tree branch. Rather than dropping the 10ft stick the six-year-old pooch carried it through the park. At one point the stick even hits another dog as Harlow's efforts to give others a wider berth fail. Joshua said: 'The stick must have been about 10ft long.' Grabbing his camera to document his dog's great achievement, Joshua captures Harlow's pride within a 38-second video.
