The gigantic Viridor six-axled heavy vehicle was seen just before dinner time, crashing into the brick wall fencing of a local house in Bradenstoke, on the curve just before Zebedee Powney's new garage.

Royal Wedding Stamps
The Royal Mail has unveiled two stamps showing Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles to mark their wedding. The prince and his partner chose the photographs, which were approved by the Queen.

A royal wedding is always a very special occasion and for decades Royal Mail has marked these important events with commemorative stamps. The photograph for the 30p stamp was taken at the Mey Games in Scotland last year while the other was taken at the Queen's Balmoral estate in Scotland. Both will be on sale for a month.

The last Royal commemorative stamps were issued to mark Prince William's 21st birthday in 2003. Commemorative stamps to mark the Queen's coronation in 1953 and a set to mark death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997, are among the most popular ever issued.
