The director of James Bond films Spectre and Skyfall has reportedly had his wedding blessed in an Oxfordshire church.

Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes, 51, is understood to have married classical musician fiancee Alison Balsom last weekend at St Michael & All Angels in Great Tew, Oxfordshire.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, vicar the Rev Ginny Thomas confirmed the couple had had a blessing after getting married at a registry office.

Mr Mendes, an alumnus of Magdalen College School in Oxford, was previously married to actress Kate Winslet.

Last summer he returned to MCS to talk about his life and work as part of Oxford Festival of the Arts.
