Betjeman’s poem on the marriage of The Prince of Wales in 1981 typically celebrates the glories of Britain and the architecture of St Paul’s Cathedral as much as the wedded couple. One hundred and twenty-five copies of this edition were printed, each with the poet’s signature at the bottom of the page.
