ANYONE at Didcot Parkway on Saturday would have been forgiven for thinking they had walked on to the set of Despicable Me.

In fact it was a 40-strong hen party dressed as Minions.

It also came as a surprise for bride-to-be Emma Jeffrey, 30, from Didcot, who only found out about the fancy dress a couple of hours earlier. The Didcot Town FC assistant clubhouse manager said: “I was told that the girls would come round at 7.30am and get me dressed.”

She is getting married at All Saints’ Church in Didcot later this month to Matt Rushton.
