The fire, which was put out ² local firefighters, caused around £6 million in damage to the famous building.
Hotel management, who were worried about the wedding bill not ³ paid, repeatedly asked Kay for payment.
Kay became angry and decided to take matters into his own hands later that night. Using a lighter, he set fire to
curtains in a room directly below the suite where his new wife was asleep. It was a miracle that none of the people in
the castle ⁴ killed, as there were more than one hundred guests and many staff staying at the castle. Naturally,

severe money problems. Luckily, the hotel ⁶ security cameras installed some years back, which filmed Kay
lighting the fire.
