Three people were arrested within an hour after they allegedly robbed a fast food outlet in Port Elizabeth on Friday night.

At about 6.30pm on Friday‚ a fast food outlet in Circular Drive in Walmer was robbed by two men at gunpoint‚ police said.

One suspect had requested a bottle of water and as the attendant went to fetch the water‚ he pulled out a firearm and demanded cash.

Cash was taken from the till.

Police said the shop attendant had activated a panic button and the suspects had run out.

Video footage showed that they had got into a silver VW Polo.

Police said that after viewing the footage‚ members of the Flying Squad and the K9 unit had searched for the vehicle and cornered it.

Three suspects were arrested. Some of the stolen cash and a toy gun were found in the vehicle.

The suspects aged 20‚ 26 and 26 were arrested and detained on a charge of armed robbery. They will appear in court on Monday.

Seven children found passed out on the pavement and inside taxis during an “unruly” school food fair had to be taken to hospital in Cape Town.

Cape Town Law Enforcement spokesperson Wayne Dyason said officers were called to attend a complaint about children behaving in an unruly manner at the school in Wynberg on Saturday.

“The school had been host to a food fair and pupils from various schools attended the function. On arrival the officers found a number of children passed out on the pavement and lying passed out in taxis‚” he said.

“The allegation was that alcohol had been given to the pupils from the taxis. Alcohol could be seen in one of the taxis and a female lying in the taxi passed out. Some of them were vomiting.”

Ambulances were called and medics attended to the children. Dyason said the school had to be cleared of children and the food fair was stopped‚ at the request of the school.

Seven of the children were taken to hospital.

The sleek white gown, with its six strategically placed seams, was stitched from a heavy silk with a subtle sheen. A simple bateau neckline gracefully framed her face. The body of the dress subtly outlined her waist and flowed into a full train.

But what was most noticeable were all the things that the dress was not. It was not a Hollywood red carpet statement. It was not a Disney princess fantasy. It was not a mountain of camouflaging tulle and chiffon.

The dress, designed by Clare Waight Keller, was free of extravagant embellishments. It was not covered in yards of delicate lace. It did not have a single ruffle – no pearls or crystals. Its beauty was in its architectural lines and its confident restraint. It was a romantic dress, but one that suggested a clear-eyed understanding that a real-life romance is not the stuff of fairy tales. The dress was a backdrop; it was in service to the woman

Meghan’s wedding gown was beautiful, but the woman wearing it was unforgettable
The dress isn’t everything but it is a lot. And the Givenchy haute couture gown chosen by Meghan Markle for her marriage to Prince Harry told a story about contemporary romance, geopolitical history and the institution into which she has married. But mostly, most importantly, it offered a bit of insight into the bride herself.
