Austria's Archduke Alexander kisses new bride Countess Natacha Roumiantzoff-Pachkevitch after the couple tie the knot in lavish ceremony in Belgium | Daily Mail Online Copying across Manuel's link from the DDP thread which includes reference to the death of Yolande of Austria. She doesn't seem to have won any awards :-)

I would have put it as later than Duel, but I remember the death of F1 driver Jochen Rindt which I've just noticed was a few months before the above in 1970. As a 7 year old I was apparently quite an F1 nerd, something I grew out of fairly rapidly (on discovering 'live' stock car racing and subsequently speedway locally) and have barely watched it since the days of James Hunt and Niki Lauda. My 91yo Mum still loves it.

My sister's youngest and his fiancee have made me a Great Uncle for the 4th time, their first contribution to my expanding collection. My suggestion of 'Cholet' was declined, not for the first time.
