A SHOCKED bride feared her three-year-old son had died after he fell 10ft from a balcony at her wedding.
Gemma Coulton, 33, saw page boy Freddie topple backwards through wooden rails and plunge on to stairs.
She said: “The flower girls and page boys were about to walk down the stairs ahead of me.
Mum-of-four Gemma, of Horsham, said: “We were in such shock we don’t even remember saying our vows.”
Signs now ban children from the balcony.
