Exeter hotel fire fails to stop wedding

A couple have exchanged wedding vows amid a devastating fire in Exeter, which nearly cancelled their big day.

Fire engines and police cordons didn鈥檛 put off the newlyweds exchanging their wedding vows, as a fire raged throughout the weekend after a gas main caught light.

Nicky and her husband Frazer Burling-Hobbs told 大象传媒 5 live鈥檚 Adrian Chiles about how the fire didn鈥檛 disrupt the ceremony despite the strong smell of smoke, as firefighters attempted to tackle the blaze at The Royal Clarence hotel.

鈥淲e didn鈥檛 realise that the fire was so close. There was no sirens going on, it was peaceful inside.鈥
