THE contrasting worlds of Rupert Murdoch and Jerry Hall came together in a spectacu­lar celebration yesterday as some of the best-known names in journalism, politics and show business turned out for the couple’s church blessing and star-studded wedding ­reception.

Friends and families of the media tycoon and the former supermodel gathered at St Bride’s, the journalists’ church off Fleet Street in London, for an hour-long ­service to reaffirm the vows that the couple had exchanged at a civil ceremony on Friday.

The bride, inevitably, stole the show by flashing a frilly garter as she climbed out of her limousine on a damp and chilly morning.

Guests at the wedding included bridesmaids Georgia May Jagger and sister Elizabeth

Braving the elements in a silky ice-blue Vivienne Westwood dress with transparent sleeves, Hall, 59, posed briefly for photographs with her 84- year-old husband outside the 17th-century Christopher Wren church.

The party then moved to St James’s, where the couple hosted a reception at Spencer House, owned by Earl Spencer, brother of the late Diana, ­Princess of Wales.

Murdoch, executive chair­man of News Corp, the ultimate owner of The Sunday Times, tweeted on Friday that he felt like “the luckiest and happiest man in the world”.
