PATTIE´THIRD MARRIAGE: PATTIE BOYD AND ROD WESTON TOGETHER

• Pattie Boyd and Rod Weston, 61, have been together for almost 25 years
• Pair were accompanied by their dog Freddie at Chelsea Register Office
• This is Pattie's third marriage - her first was to George Harrison in 1966
• Bentley took couple to wedding breakfast at Beaumont Hotel in Mayfair

She was the woman who inspired three of the greatest love songs of all time and was at the heart of the most famous love triangle in rock history.

Married to both George Harrison and Eric Clapton, model Pattie Boyd was one of the most envied women in the world.

Yesterday at the age of 71, she wed for a third time – with a soundtrack provided by her Irish terrier Freddie who did his best to upstage the bride and her new groom, property developer Rod Weston. 

Pattie Boyd has tied the knot for the third time, this time with Rod Weston at Chelsea Registry Office, Chelsea Old Town Hall, in London

The couple look delighted as their leave the town hall to a shower of confetti 

The setting was very rock and roll; Chelsea Register Office on the King’s Road, where so many of pop’s leading men and women have married over the years.

But that’s where any similarity with Pattie’s famous past began and ended. 

There were still splashes of style, of course, from the Bentley that took the happy couple to their wedding breakfast at the uber-trendy Beaumont Hotel in Mayfair to the presence of Pattie’s fellow Sixties model Edina Ronay.

But there were no groupies or hangers-on as there had been when she married Clapton in 1979 or Harrison in 1966 – just a handful of close friends and family who threw confetti as Pattie and Rod, who have been together almost 25 years, emerged from the cream-painted Rossetti Room arm in arm. 

And in a nod to the tradition of the bride wearing something borrowed, Patti wore a hat owned by her late friend Pat Booth, the model turned best-selling author who died of cancer in 2009.

Friends of the couple, who live in Kensington, feared they would never tie the knot. ‘It’s almost our silver anniversary so we thought we had better get on with it,’ said Weston, 61.

Since settling down with Weston, Pattie, a former Vogue cover girl, has turned herself into an accomplished photographer and her pictures have been exhibited all over the world.

With the death of John Lennon’s ex-wife Cynthia last month, convent-educated Pattie is now the sole surviving first wife of a Beatle.

The 70-year-old model, photographer and author, has found love for the third time with Weston

Pattie, now 71, met property developer Rod back in 1991 and he became her long-term partner

Pattie, who has graced the cover of Vogue numerous times, and had three of arguably the greatest love songs ever written for her, has had some of the most high-profile relationships of all time

For Pattie, life these days is a lot less complicated and the bridge-playing former rock chick is happy to start a new chapter in her extraordinary life.
