As some of you were aware on 3rd October Les and I renewed our wedding vows in the place where we first met, 30 Euston Square London, built by Arthur Beresford Pite. Having undergone a £38m refurbishment, the building is now headquarters for the Royal College of General Practitioners with the Duke of Edinburgh as its patron. Afterwards we held a reception at the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel. We had a wonderful day and I decided to shock everyone by wearing an ivory 1940s style dress, the complete opposite of the black dress I wore when we got married in 2006!I have attached a few photos. We are off on a second honeymoon to Paris later this month.

Thank you all.
PaulB the secret is to hold the reception in a very old building thus makes us look younger - genius!!

Wow, that's a palace!
I like that staircase and wouldn't mind ascending and descending it, perhaps robed in a cloak!
Congratulations to you both, Jeane!

Thanks, Jan St Pancras is one of my favourite buildings.
Colette, yes it was in the hotel, it's wonderful how they have restored it and managed to retain most of the old features and discreetly add all the modern technology. I wanted a 1940s dress but was worried an original one might disintegrate so I found a wonderful dressmaker who copies vintage dresses and she used yards of silk satin fabric which looked old and voila!
The Grand staircase is amazing Alexander. The Spice girls filmed their first video there (when it was derelict) but let's forget that! It's often used in period films and for fashion shoots.

I have seen the hotel but only in passing. I must venture in there soon on one of my many visits to see my daughters who are both at uni in London. Friends have told me they do a great afternoon high tea so one day...................
