A COMBINED French and Scottish theme ensured a unique event for the wed­ ding of Mr Duncan Minto and Mademoi­ selle Elisabeth Nirascou, in Provence. The bridegroom, a financial director for


Renault, is the son of Mr Brian and Mrs Diane Minto, of Station Road, Whalley, and family and friends travelled with them to witness the wedding in France. The bride a marketing manager for Kim­


berley Clark, in Paris, is the youngest daughter of Monsieur and Madame Niras­ cou, of St Jeannet, Provence. The ceremony was performed by the


bride’s father, who is a dignitary of the vil­ lage of St Jeannet and the marriage was blessed in St Jeannet Church by Father Porcier. Many of the villagers attended a Wine


of Honour to toast the couple’s future, overlooking the panoramic views from out­ side the church. The bride wore an ivory, off the shoulder,


silk gown with a full skirt and train. Her bouquet reflected the French and Scottish theme, blending white roses with lavender and Scottish thistles. • She was attended by Cecelia Sharp and


Christine Louis who were witnesses and seven young bridesmaids who along with the two pageboys wore white with the bridegroom’s clan tartan as decoration. Best men were Mr Matthew Bulley and Mr Arnaud Martin and the bridegroom


wore the kilt, as did some of his family and friends. Members of Clitheroe and District Cale­


donian Society danced at the reception and the bagpipes were played by Mr David Moore, at the exotic location of Domain Mont Leuze, Villefranche-sur-Mer. Following a honeymoon in Tuscany, the couple will return to live in Paris.

CLITHEROE clergyman the Rev. Dr Peter Shepherd celebrated a special anniversary this week. On Wednesday, a service was taking


place at Clitheroe Parish Church to mark his 25th year in the priesthood. Ordained as a deacon in 1980 and as a


priest the following year, Mr Shepherd has been the honorary assistant priest at Clitheroe Parish Church, since 1982. A former teacher and headteacher, he


was also installed as an honorary canon at Manchester Cathedral by the city’s Bish­


op, the R t Rev. Nigel McCulloch, in March. The Bishop of Blackburn, the R t Rev.


Nicholas Reade, was expected to attend yesterday’s service, along with Mr Shep­ herd’s school friend, the Rev. Tony Win- dross, the vicar of Sheringham, who was due to preach. Writing in the July edition of the parish


magazine, Mr ShepWd said: “Such occa­ sions are bound to arouse all kinds of thoughts and feelings, but certainly, as I grow older, that sense both of enormous

By what right do I mount the pulpit to seek to declare and expound Jesus’ words of life? The answer is clean only through the grace of God, can I, or anyone else, ever do such things. So for the opportunities and chal­ lenges of 25 years: Deo Gratias.”

hectares and was planted out during the winter of 2003/04 with nearly 6,000 tree seedlings of various broadleaf species like oak, ash, rowen, silver birch, hazel and is sur­ rounded by established woodland and meadows. During the grand opening, an oak


tree was planted by the youngsters to commemorate the event. After walking along the new path, every­ one was rewarded with an ice cream from Mrs Dowson, from the adjoin­ ing Hawkshaw Farm, where the award-winning ice-cream is made.
