Hillary Clinton said today that she would not be attending the wedding of Larry Page, the Google co-founder, in the Caribbean tomorrow.

Ms Clinton, the Democratic Presidential hopeful, was responding to a report on Times Online yesterday which said that she and her husband Bill were expected to fly in for the event, taking place on Necker Island, a private island owned by Sir Richard Branson.

Phil Singer, a campaign spokesman for Mrs Clinton, said: "This report is inaccurate. She will be in Iowa, and neither her nor President Clinton will be attending such an event."

Mr Page, who is 34 and worth an estimated $18.5 million, is to marry his fiance, Lucy Southworth, on Necker Island, a 74-acre enclave in the British Virgin Islands that was bought by the Virgin entrepreneur in the 1970s.

Among the 600 guests expected to be flown to the island - which costs $48,000 a night to hire - to attend is Bono, the U2 front man.
