It is a bride’s privilege to be the last person to arrive at the church on her wedding day – but not, it seems, if you invite Kate Moss to the service.
The supermodel caused a stir at her friend Leah Wood’s marriage to Jack Macdonald yesterday afternoon by turning up at Southwark Cathedral in Central London ten minutes later than anyone else – including the bride.
Moss, who was with her daughter Lila Grace and rock-star boyfriend Jamie Hince, swanned in late following lunch at The Ritz hotel.
Wearing a floor-length grey strappy dress and six-inch grey heels, she posed for waiting photographers, apparently oblivious to the hour.
The bride, the 29-year-old daughter of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, had arrived exactly on time.
Looking glamorous in a cream satin dress with a six-foot train, she was driven to the cathedral in a maroon Rolls-Royce and escorted into the church by her father.
Among the eclectic congregation were Rolling Stones Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, model Jerry Hall, artist Tracey Emin, snooker player Jimmy White and TV hosts Cilla Black and Paul O’Grady.
Jagger is believed to have arrived and left by a side door to avoid photographers.
Friends joked that Leah deliberately chose the longest day of the year to marry, so the 250,000 party could last all the longer.
The reception at Ronnie’s mansion in Kingston, Surrey, had a Midsummer Night’s Dream theme and was not due to end until lunchtime today.
Ronnie left the organising to his daughter and wife Jo, who chose the organic menu, but did make a few suggestions of his own.
A source said: ‘Ronnie thought it would be funny to hire a group of dwarves as waiters – but no one knows if he actually did it.
‘The running joke is that if the dwarf waiters don’t show up she can always use the Rolling Stones as stand-ins.’
Miss Wood, who has dabbled in modelling and singing, has been dating Sky News producer Macdonald for 11 years.
A source said: ‘Today has been more than two years in the making and it really is Leah’s dream day.’
