For those that dont know Bertie Bassett, he is made out of Liquorice Allsorts and is celebrating his 80th birthday by marrying his new "sweetheart".
Bride Betty is the new face to bassett's Red Liquorice Allsorts. more than 60 workers at its Sheffield factory were given time off to attend the ceremony.
Liquorice Allsorts were created accidentally in 1899 when onf their salesman Charlie Thompson tripped up, mixing all the different sweets that he was carrying.
Do you like Liquorice Allsorts??
