On this day in Tudor history, 12th July 1543, Henry VIII got married for the sixth and final time.
The fifty-two-year-old king married thirty-one-year-old Catherine Parr, Lady Latimer, in the Queen's Closet of the Chapel Royal at Hampton Court Palace.
In today's talk, Claire Ridgway, author of "On This Day in Tudor History", gives a contemporary account of the wedding service, as well as telling us about who attended the ceremony.
