The organiser of a lockdown-breaching wedding at an ultra-Orthodox Jewish girls’ school in north London attended by more than 100 people has been condemned by community leaders.
Police discovered about 150 guests celebrating the wedding on Thursday evening. The windows of Yesodey Hatorah school in Stamford Hill had been covered to stop people seeing in when officers arrived. It was initially thought that up to 400 had attended.
Many guests fled when police arrived after receiving reports of a large gathering. Five people were handed £100 fixed penalty notices for breaching Covid regulations and the organiser could face a £10,000 fine, the Metropolitan police said.
