In a short video shared on Sir Richard’s Instagram account, he was seen officiating the wedding which took place on the beach, with Lady Bates wearing a floral-patterned dress and Sir Alan wearing a Hawaiian-style shirt.
Pronouncing the couple, husband and wife, Sir Richard remarked that what the couple had accomplished “together” was “no small feat”.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, Sir Richard said: “It was an absolute joy to play a small part in Alan and Suzanne’s love story, and I know they will continue to spread the beautiful light they share with everyone around them.”
The couple reportedly flew first-class from London to Antigua and spent a week on Necker. They then spent a week in Antigua, where they celebrated Sir Alan’s birthday last Monday.
