A soap actress set to wed Britain's most notorious prisoner has arrived at his jail today hidden under a blanket.
Paula Williamson was smuggled into HMP Wakefield under the purple covering by family and friends before marrying Charles Bronson.
Just five people will get to witness Bronson saying 'I do' in a behind closed doors ceremony at the West Yorks prison which began at 2pm.
Guests have been arriving at the prison while a black Saab convertible car with the words 'free Charles Bronson' emblazoned on the side is parked outside.
A second car, a silver-blue Mercedes with the words 'Just Married' in individual letters strung to its rear, is also outside the jail after taking the bride to the 'venue'.
Meanwhile the convict has had a 'heartfelt plea' to others written on a sign to warn them against making the same mistakes he did.
His message is etched in capital letters on a sign swinging in the wind outside the hotel where his bride-to-be is staying.
Bronson, who signs off the message, says 'if you follow my footsteps you're following a madman so think'.
He labels prison the 'funny farm' and tells youngsters to say no to crime 'for your mum'.
Bronson talks of there being 'no glamour or achievements in a prison cell' and refers to life behind bars as a 'cr*p existence'.
The lengthy message reads in full: 'What would I say to youngsters who are about to take the road to crime? Simple! Put the brakes on.
'Stop and think! The facts are simple, it's a road to hell. Don't do it.
'You can never get that time back. It's lost, forever gone. A waste of life.. Imagine it, for years, decades.
'Try and work out the damage and pain it will have on your family life. It's actually horrific. I'll tell you what it does: it destroys lives and turns people into heartless souls.
'When you're young you think it's clever it makes you feel tough, you're with the boys doing your porridge. Big tough guys but your mothers at home crying her eyes out.
'She has to save up every month to visit you in all weathers. She has to be searched and security checked to get in to see you.
