  • Story Text: LEADING FIGURES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD WERE IN PARIS TODAY (TUESDAY) FOR THE MAIN RECEPTION FOLLOWING THE WEDDING OF THE AGA KHAN TO FORMER BRITISH MODEL LADY JAMES CRICHTON-STUART.

    THE RECEPTION, HELD AT THE AGA KHAN'S PARIS RESIDENCE ON THE BANKS OF THE RIVER SEINE, WAS A GRAND CHAMPAGNE-BUBBLING AFFAIR IN CONTRAST TO THE MUCH SMALLER BUFFET SERVED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE WEDDING CEREMONY TODAY IN THE MAIN SITTING ROOM OF HIS HOME.

    CROWDS JAMMED THE STREETS OUTSIDE TO WATCH THE GUESTS ARRIVE INCLUDING BRITAIN'S PRINCESS MARGARET. AS WELL AS LEADING POLITICIANS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, THERE WERE AMONG THE GUESTS SENIOR MEMBERS OF THE ISMAILI SECT OF WHICH THE AGA KHAN IS RELIGIOUS LEADER.

    SECRECY SURROUNDS THE NEWLY-WEDS' HONEYMOON PLANS, BUT TOMORROW (WEDNESDAY) THE AGA KHAN IS DUE TO TAKE HIS WIFE TO A PRIVATE LUNCHEON GIVEN IN THEIR HONOUR AT THE ELYSEE PALACE BY FRANCE'S PRESIDENT POMPIDOU.

    A SPOKESMAN FOR THE AGA SAID THAT AFTER THE HONEYMOON HE AND HIS BRIDE WOULD TOUR ISMAILI COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
