History of the 1986 Royal Wedding Souvenir Issue of Today Newspaper
The wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson on 23 July 1986 was a major national event, watched by millions across the UK and worldwide. Newspapers produced special souvenir editions to mark the occasion, and Today — then still a relatively new, full‑colour national paper — issued this celebratory front page the following morning.
Its bold colour printing, modern layout and upbeat royal coverage make it a standout example of mid‑1980s tabloid design. Souvenir issues from this wedding remain popular with collectors due to their strong imagery and historical significance
