BROADCASTER and racing writer Kevin Blake married Deirdre Moloney last weekend and he told The Irish Field: “Our original wedding and honeymoon were cancelled last May. With so much ongoing uncertainty about when a full wedding will be permitted and practical, we decided to kick on with the most important part. We were only allowed to have ourselves, my best man Ronan and Deirdre’s sister/maid of honour Orla at the ceremony, but it was a lovely day. I’m a very lucky man!

“When something approaching normality returns, we’ll belatedly get all our family and friends together for the sort of party we had originally planned.” Best of luck to both.
