MPs will vote later on an amendment to the Bill, put forward by the Humanist Association, to allow officially recognised groups, such as charities or voluntary organisations, to officiate at marriage ceremonies.

At the moment, anyone taking part in a humanist ceremony must still have their marriage made legal through a register office. Humanist ceremonies have been a fully legal form of marriage in Scotland since 2005.

Andrew Copson, chief executive of the British Humanist Association, said: "The amendment does not open up legal recognition for any new weddings other than humanist ones.

"Humanist weddings are popular and meaningful and legal recognition for them would be fair, timely, and not at all controversial."

Hear, hear .....

If I were to get married again, I'd like a legal Humanist ceremony .....
