<p>All the best man had to do was mind the wedding rings... But this 'best' man went a step too far as the bride and groom exchanged their vows.</p>

<p>He tripped during his big moment - and sent the bride and preacher tumbling into a swimming pool.</p>

<p>You wouldn't be impressed...</p>]]>

<p>RUMOURS have surfaced that veteran priest and renowned disciplinarian Father Jack Hackett is moving to Hinckley.</p>]]>
        <![CDATA[<p>Craggy Island-based Fr Hackett, famous for his somewhat alternative views on the Catholic faith, is believed to be in talks with local clergy about taking up a position in the town.</p>

<p>A church insider told the Times: "We think someone of Fr Hackett's calibre taking up a prominent position would put a swift end to any anti-social behaviour issues we have in Hinckley."</p>

<p>Fr Hackett was unavailable for comment.</p>]]>

<p>THIS TERRIFYING video of ghosts and ghouls has been uncovered by a Hinckley mum.<br />
</p>]]>
        <![CDATA[<p>The harrowing minute-long film was recorded accidentally on Loraine Bazeley's mobile phone as she looked around the old Fludes building on the corner of Rugby Road and Hawley Road in the town.</p>

<p>Her dog raced into the building one night on and Loraine gave chase, knocking her mobile phone in the process.</p>

<p>She grabbed the dog and walked out of the building - but when she checked her phone weeks later she discovered the footage.</p>

<p>Disfigured heads and smiling ghouls are clearly visible on a video that could blow doubters away...</p>]]>
