I thought the bouquet must be lily of the valley and the men were wearing it in their buttonholes. Thought there must be something else but if it was Sweet William - how thoughtful.

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.

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

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.

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!!

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

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

Jane

Jane Report 29 Apr 2011 18:20

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

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

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!
