The church has a strict moral code - the sexes sit separately inside the auditorium during ordinary services and dating is not allowed."I only learned about polygamy when I joined the church and was taught that simply dating a woman was not allowed. So because I realised that one woman would not be enough for me, I felt that rather than cheat, let me get another wife," Lesiba Molala, 67, told the BBC.

These mass weddings take place three times a year at the church's grand headquarters in the small rural town of Zuurbekom - at Easter, in September and December.After each wedding party's raucous arrival was over, the group walked a red carpet to take photos.Then it was time for the church's leader, Leonard Frederick G Modise, to arrive - and his entrance almost stole the show.

Referred to as "the comforter", he was ushered in - along with his family - by a marching band, horse parade and a series of luxury vehicles, among them a midnight sapphire Rolls Royce.As the sun began to set, it was time for the official programme to begin - with each entourage entering the auditorium to make their way slowly down the white-carpeted aisle.

I caught up with the Molala trio before their turn. Evelyn was excited and all smiles about her dress: "I told you, you would not recognise me!"

The service, which went on until 22:00, ended with a blessing from Mr Modise for the new couples and their other spouses - with the festivities going on long into the night.The first meeting of the new authority's board is due to take place in early March.

A number of aircraft enthusiasts will be issued with anti-social behaviour warning letters for straying outside a designated viewing zone at an RAF base, police have said.Plane-spotters, including children, have been seen standing near safety fencing at RAF Waddington, in Lincolnshire, to secure better views.

Police said the base had clear signage and officers had made "efforts to engage with spotters", but a group had chosen to ignore the advice.The force said further action would be taken if enthusiasts continued to flout the rules.
