We are delighted that Joanna Lumley has come to the aid of her favourite building in the UK - St Bride's Church, Fleet Street.

Miss Lumley has suggested a campaign, as part of the INSPIRE! Appeal to save the Spire, to all married couples to help celebrate their wedding anniversary and save the inspiration for the now familiar tiered wedding cake - the Spire!

In launching the campaign Miss Lumley commented:

How thrilling to think that every tiered wedding cake the world over was inspired by the steeple of St Bride's church, Wren's fragile masterpiece which stands like a spiral shell in the heart of London. How perfect it would be if every marriage remembered this link by offering a small donation to save the spire in its time of great need. 

If you were married at St Bride's why not help start the fundraising - donate now.
