Today's the day for Elton & David
Wednesday, December 21 2005

Cops will form a ring of steel around Sir Elton John on December 21, 2005 to make sure anti-gay protesters do not ruin his “wedding”.


Elton has told pals he fears a repeat of scenes in Northern Ireland when Christian fundamentalists picketed the first civil partnerships on December 19, 2005.

Crowd control barriers were put up last night. And undercover cops will be in the crowds to pinpoint potential trouble-makers.

A police source said: “We don’t want a hint of trouble, even anyone trying to throw an egg.”

The operation to protect Elton and David will cost tens of thousands of pounds — with Elton footing the bill. The couple wed at 11 am at the Guildhall in Windsor on the first day of gay “marriages” in England.

It is the venue where Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles tied the knot in April 2005. Only Elton’s mum and stepdad and David’s parents will be at the ceremony. But it will be followed by a black-tie bash in a massive marquee at the star’s £12million mansion at Woodside.

Elton has had flower arrangements worth thousands of pounds put in the Guildhall. He generously told staff to leave them in place for the two other couples marrying the same day.

Victoria Beckham, Liz Hurley, Sharon Stone and Donatella Versace are among celebs due at the reception. Elton and David will make sure they are not photographed by using a covered walkway. The couple want a firework extravaganza at midnight but aviation officials have not yet given the go-head as the house is just five miles from Heathrow.

The wedding comes after a riotous “hen night” for 180 pals at the Too2Much gay bar in Soho on December 19, 2005. Former Blue singer Lee Ryan and Scissor Sisters star Jake Shears both stripped. And a hilarious video message from Meet The Parents star Ben Stiller was shown.

EX-Boyzone star Stephen Gately has given Elton and David the wedding gift of a balloon flight — as a thank-you for introducing him to his boyfriend.
