UK's first same sex civil partnerships 20 years on
"It was officially a civil partnership, but we classed it as our wedding, it meant so much on the day," says Chris Cramp.
Chris, 57, was one half of the first same-sex couple to have a civil partnership in the UK, 20 years ago.
He and his terminally ill partner Matthew Roche were given special permission for the ceremony on the day the legislation came in. Matthew died the next day.
Chris, from Southwick in West Sussex, said: "It just meant so much to him as well, to legally get married."
