A wedding attended by around 400 people at a north London school has been broken up by police, with the organiser now facing a £10,000 fine.

The windows of the state-funded Yesodey Hatorah Senior Girls’ School in Egerton Road, Stamford Hill, had been covered to stop people seeing in when officers arrived on Thursday night.
