Tailor Ibrahim Halil Dudu performs a last-minute repair on bride Jo Du's wedding dress

“The next door neighbour was hosting a family of Syrian refugees and the father was a master tailor and would be happy to help if we weren't successful.” A few minutes later the neighbour, David Hobson, called round, bringing with him the tailor, Ibrahim Halil Dudu, and his son. Mr Dudu and the boy had been Canada for just four days and, not speaking English, had been communicating with his hosts via Google Translate. He set about fixing the wedding dress with his sewing kit, as Ms Coulter captured the moment on camera.
