Onlookers watched as Brian, 74, disembarked with his wife Anita Dobson, 72, and headed to the wedding in the village of in the village of Mawnan Smith.

A Falmouth Cricket Club spokesman said: ‘The helicopter took about seven minutes to land.

‘The club knew it was coming, we do get one or two helicopters who land on the outfield from time to time. Everyone just stopped to watch this monster land in the middle of the game.

‘It dropped him off then went off to refuel then came back again. It’s something you don’t see every day.

‘They went to the wedding then came back and flew off at about 10.15pm. It was quite a good game but we lost. Being the second team, there wasn’t a big crowd.’
