The funny thing about Henry is that his title "Defender of the Faith" was bestowed upon him by the pope, in reference to Roman Catholicism.

You can bet there was some self-kicking in the Vatican later, though.

The vatican has announced that the pope is to be buried on Friday 8th April.

This is the same day that Prince Charles is due to marry Camilla.

Probably not, but I can't help but be amused by it.

Hardly surpsing. The Space Shuttle Columbia blew up on my wedding day. Oh, and my car's starter went out when I left the house for the church.

I should have taken the hints.
