Two brides very nearly missed their wedding ceremony after their coach broke down in Hedge End.

The pair were travelling along St John's Road when the accident happened earlier this morning - threatening to ruin their big day.

Luckily, police were in the right place at the right time and were able to give them a lift in a police car.

They made it to their wedding venue "with minutes to spare".
