From the front line of the Royal Wedding:-
If I were edged into a corner to sum up my royal wedding experience it would have to breathtaking.
It began at 6am in Trafalgar square, as the time passed I was interviewed live on German ZDF TV, Chinese TV and the Daily Mail to name just a few, this with the emerging thousands made my early start worth while. By 10am Trafalgar Square was filling fast with well wishers from all walks of life and around the world. Some dressed normally waving the token flag or dressed to impress from kings, queens, brides, grooms or like myself covered in the union flag as far as possible.
As word was spread and the huge TV screens showed Prince William and his best man Harry departing Clarence House everyone stood up and a hush fell across the square. It was the same when Kate emerged looking stunning in her Sarah Burton dress. Necks were stretched beyond normality; handkerchiefs were reached for across the square, silence then an eruption of cheers, cries and clapping that echoed for what seemed to be a lifetime.
I have posted a few pictures here but what the cameras couldn't have picked up was the wonderful electrifying deafening sounds throughout the day at key moments, the cheers, and singing, hugging and huge smiles.
After the ‘I do’s’ it was then a mad dash to Hyde Park for the after wedding party we had planned. Battling through thousands of well wishers all with the same idea was exhausting but worth it as we managed to see the flypast, Royal kisses and dance to the celebrations that had been laid on by good old Boris.
Later walking to Buckingham Palace and up the Mall we were in the right place at the right time to see the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge leave in the vintage Aston Martin looking so very happy. I was too far away to get a decent picture but I have it in my memory forever.
All in all it was a grand day out.
