Gary with the Methuselah of champagne brought from Rome by Stefano and Andrea
Reading the personalised label
The first pouring
A few words from the Commander
Gary back in his 1967 Chinese robe (brought over from Los Angeles
by Chris Young, who won it in BtP's auction)
The Procols on stage at Freising
Gary in the hotel bar with Henrik Goettrup
Gary in the hotel bar with Helle Frandsen. GB has just permitted himself a very un-PC witticism
The small hours in the hotel bar, under instructions not to make a noise
A crowd of Palers and Procols doing its best to stay quiet while drinking the birthday champagne
Another view of the same
The shadowy figures at the back there are Brendan and Kellie, from Ireland
Brendan says that if Procol come to Ireland to play, he will marry Kellie
Gary tells him he should marry her anyway, never mind what a rock band chooses to do or not
In his capacity as a ship's captain GB then, with great seriousness of purpose (for the hour) conducts the marriage of Brendan and Kellie
The exchange of vows
Further solemnities ... memorable marriage for the happy couple and, dare we say it, an unusual birthday for Mr Brooker.
Words of marital advice from the long-married Brooker
