I too have to object to the word slapper...horribly misogynistic.

I watched part of it because I wanted to see Kate's dress, which was beautiful, just like the bride herself. I thought the little bridesmaid and pageboys were lovely and Pippa looked gorgeous, loved her dress too.

I saw it from when the Queen and Prince Philip were on the way to the Abbey, waited until I saw Kate's dress and then half watched it while doing the weekly food shop.

I'd left the room by the time they arrived at the balcony.

Thanks for that Joy! now we know who they were .

LondonBelle, That must have been an amazing sight !
something to cherish.!
I have a feeling that this couple will stay married for a long time!!

From a website:

The bridesmaids are Lady Louise Windsor, 7, William's first cousin on his father's side; the Hon. Margarita Armstrong-Jones, 8, William's second cousin; Eliza Lopes, 3, granddaughter of Prince Charles' wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall; and Grace van Cutsem, 3, godchild of Prince William.

The page boys are William Lowther-Pinkerton, 10, the son of Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, who has been William and Harry's private secretary since 2005; and Tom Pettifer, 8, another of William's godchildren and the son of his former nanny, Tiggy Legge-Bourke

The bride-to-be chose her 27-year-old event planner sister Pippa to take on the role of maid of honour when she marries the prince at Westminster Abbey.
Another four bridesmaid have been chosen to accompany the brunette on her big day, those being Lady Louise Windsor, the queen’s youngest granddaughter, Eliza Lopes, the Duchess of Cornwall’s granddaughter, the hon Margarita Armstrong-Jones, the daughter of Viscount Linley, and Grace Van Cutsem, the daughter of Prince William’s close friend, Hugh Van Cutsem. All of the bridesmaids are aged between 3 – 8 years old.
Two pageboys will be included in the bridal party, these will be 10-year-old William Lowther-Pinkerton, whose father is William’s private secretary, and 8-year-old Tom Pettifer, whose mother, Tiggy Legge-Bourke, was William and Harry’s nanny.
According to a palace official, Kate and William decided on their wedding attendants together.

The first word that came into my head when I saw Kate was "stunning".....I even said it out loud!

The Service, the pageantry, the crowd.....didn't it just make you proud to be British!

We were on the route of the flypast and as Will & Kate walked out onto the balcony the Memorial Flight came over our house and a few minutes later over Buckingham Palace; what precision!

A super day for a super couple and it was just great that we could share it with them!

The little bridesmaids reminded me of Diana's small bridesmaids..with their flower head dresses.

Couldn't help thinking throughout how proud Diana would have been and how much she'd have enjoyed seeing her boys at that altar.

1 million people turned out to celebrate too...it was a day to remember x

Edward and Sophies daughter was also one of the little bridesmaids me thinks x

And didn,t the bridesmaids and page boys and not forgetting best man!
compliment the lovely couple !

The dresses and uniforms superb!! no one outdid anyone else!!
even her stunning sister ( lovely as she looked ) could not take the lime light away from the couple.


All eyes were on Kate and William from start to finish fab!!
thats how it should be!!

well it was for me!,,,,,,,,, and i love Bec and posh but on this day even they
hardly got noticed by me, sorry perhaps next time!!

What l made of the whole affair was how much love they showed each other, hope it lasts forever.

I heard reference to one of the attendents being Armstrong-Jones and If I remember correctly Sarah Armstrong-Jones attended Diana x

Dermot............as the saying go's......... "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

I think she was .Was she the Nanny that went to Australia when William was a baby?
As for Beatrice and Eugenie .No I did not like their outfits ,but they have always had their own kind of fashion.Not my cup of tea .But then they wouldn't like my sense of dress lol

Ann now you mention it, maybe it was Tiggy's son.
She was William & Harrys nanny wasn't she?

"Agree about the two sisters from Cinderella......a couple of slappers came to mind....sorry if that offends,but think outfits were Westwood?"

Mauonthecoast - an outrageous comment. You should be ashamed of yourself.

one of the pages was related to Tiggy Legge-Bourke - nephew I think

edit - son!!! and Ggdchild of William

Each to your own taste i say !

The wedding belonged to the William and Kate on the day and they did the British people proud !! Elegent , graceful, classy, beautiful, and not forgetting handsome, smart ,gentleman, just a few words that sprang to my mind while watching .
I,m glad they got to use the coach, and the car at the end with just got married on the back !! people,s people!! came to mind.
enjoyed every minute. god bless them both.!

I watched much more of the ceremony than I thought I would.

Absolutely loved Kate's dress and imo everything was tasteful. Abbey looked wonderful with the greenery.

Agree about the two sisters from Cinderella......a couple of slappers came to mind....sorry if that offends,but think outfits were Westwood?

I wish the happy couple all the best!!

Not a bad show for legal robbery of public money,,,the wife is splendid and Andrews girls looked so frumpy awful their dad should have refused to stand with them!!Anne and Lizzy just the same !! dead pan misery faces,,,,

It was a lovely event, and they all looked lovely. No other country can put on such a show of splendid pageantry :-)

Catherine's dress was reminiscent of both Grace Kelly's and Princess Margaret's.

Please leave Beatrice alone! I think she is gorgeous - hat or no hat.

Well, despite what I said, I DID watch it.
Kate's dress was not overdone, and suited her, although I wasn't keen on the veil. It lookes dirty compared to the dress. Her sister, as matron of honour was also lovely.
I thought it was a lovely gesture that she wore the Queen Mums' tiara.

Does Posh EVER SMILE lol

Does anyone know who the little blonde pageboy was? He was really enjoying himself.
