Sherlock star’s 999 wedding date

SHERLOCK star Benedict Cumberbatch might have detected something curious when an ambulance arrived at a family wedding yesterday.

Happily, it was an auspicious start to proceedings, as it was carrying the woman due to marry his brother-in-law.

Patrick Hunter, whose sister is Benedict’s theatre director wife Sophie, wed Gemma Taylor, a fellow paramedic — which is what inspired the bride’s unusual entrance.

Benedict and Sophie’s sons, Christopher, five, and Hal, three, were pageboys at the ceremony at The Orleans House Gallery in Twickenham, South-West London. Due to Covid rules, the boys didn’t attend the evening reception at a nearby hotel.

Benedict, however, made use of his thespian talents by delivering a heartwarming speech.
