THIS WEEK IN 1972: Jumbos go to the little wedding
For they went to church for the wedding of two dwarfs.
It was the day, at St Jude's Church, Southsea, that Arthur Dean (21) and Penny Wheeler (16) of Cheltenham got married.
The couple were both from the Italian circus Enis Togni, that was on Southsea Common.Â

Members of the circus supported the couple on their big day and watched as they were slowly whisked to the common by the two jumbos.Â
