Just Stop Oil protester threw confetti at George Osborne’s wedding
Confetti #Confetti
As Osborne, 52, and Rogers, 40, left the church as the bells rang, a smartly dressed woman threw orange confetti from a Union flag paper bag over them.
Mr Osborne looked behind him as she approached the couple before throwing the confetti over the groom.
The grey-haired woman, in a floral dress and pale coloured jacket, emptied the bag of confetti near the couple before she left after being spoken to by two men.
The couple looked puzzled but didn’t appear to speak to the woman who fled quickly when approached by journalists.
The orange confetti appeared to be similar to that scattered by Just Stop Oil protesters at Wimbledon on Wednesday and the group tweeted a video of the woman throwing the confetti.
Around 200 people, including well-known politicians and journalists, joined the couple on their wedding day.
