royal wedding 2011




The biggest royal wedding since Charles and Diana has been providing the British media with column inches for months and has been hailed as a miracle cure for the doom and gloom of recession-riddled Britain. But what's actually happening on Kate and Will's big day?

Sometime between 10 am and 11 am on the 29th April, Kate Middleton will leave either Buckingham Palace, Clarence House or St James's Palace and make her way to Westminster Abbey. Breaking with tradition for safety and speed, she'll travel by car. Prince William will be travelling separately along the same route down the Mall; through the horse Guards Parade to Whitehall and on around Parliament Square to the Abbey.

The wedding starts at 11am and although it isn't technically a showbiz event, there will be quite a few A-list celebrities padding out the 1,900 strong audience. Alongside international Royals, Elton John will no doubt be shedding a few tears and the Beckhams will be posing for the paparazzi. Although the former Duchess of York doesn't have an invite, exes of both Will and Kate will be making an appearance, and their favourite butcher, grocer, postman and pub landlord will all be enjoying the 'people's wedding.'
