SUPERMODEL Kate Moss has married rocker partner Jamie Hince in a glamorous ceremony in the English countryside.

Wearing a heavily beaded vintage-style dress designed by beleaguered designer John Galliano, Moss was supported by 15 bridesmaids, including eight-year-old daughter Lila Grace.

The star-studded affair brought the town of Little Faringdon, West Oxfordshire, to a standstill.

Guests, who included US Vogue editor Anna Wintour, Kelly Osbourne and Naomi Campbell, partied at Moss’s country mansion following the ceremony, as part of a three-day reception.

The British model, 37, who has dated hellraiser Pete Doherty and actor Johnny Depp proved she hadn’t lost her rebellious streak with transvestites in six inch heels escorting guests at St Margaret’s church.

Hince, and possibly Moss, are coming to Australia later this month to play Splendour in the Grass.

Whether they like it or not, the Tragically Hip are Canada’s band. More precisely, for many national rock and roll fans, the Hip are Canada. In a country with few strong symbols on which to hang its identity, citizens tend to proselytize pop cultural signifiers into emblems of national consciousness: hockey, the coffee chain Tim Hortons and CanRock. As much as they’ve tried to make it in other markets, Gord Downie and his band have remained flag-bearers for Canadian music — often literally. Even at foreign festivals, Hip crowds tend to be whole seas of red and white. Read more…
