Not a Royalist at all,I take it or leave it.
But!!!!
Nobody does it like Britain when it comes to pageant.
Really stunning,and whatever you think about Royalty and the hangers on,Great Britain is still Great.
Nobody does it better.

I have to agree. When it comes to pomp, GB plc does it best.

Shame Beatrice & Eugenie seem to have picked up their mothers dress sense. What on earth was that thing Beatrice had on her head :wtf: I thought Victoria Beckham looked a bit Goth. And I so wish the Archbishop Of Canterbury would shave that scruffy beard off and have a good haircut.
Aside from those negative comments :D thought it all went very well, bride looked very elegant and lovely, and yes we do these things in great style, lovely to see all those people waving their union jacks.

On the news tonight they showed a verger from the Abby cartwheeling along the aisle once everyone had left!
Just heard Alan Carr say Eugene's, or was it Beatrice's hat looked like a pretzels!

I came in out of the garage for a brew and just commented that one looked like a little gargoyle.......I'm now firmly locked in the doghouse with no chance of escape before Monday at least it seems :thumbdown:
It was the 1st thing that crossed my mind but fortunately I didn't comment. :silent:

I have to say I'm a bit of a softie and I shed a small tear watching the lovely couple in the church. :oops:

Although a mate of mine called the whole thing "The World Cup for birds!!!" :)

I had a Spanish friend call me yesterday telling me how wonderful it must be for to have a new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and a beautiful royal wedding etc etc.
When I said that it didn't directly affect my because I'm a Dubliner, she replied, "Of course it does. He was married as a member of The Irish Gaurds and you're Irish arnt you??"

I thought that at 15 cents a minute on the mobile the best answer to this statement was, "Of course, its great, isn't it" :clap:

Still, its nice to see some happy news on the box for a change.....
putting the "ANDA" into Andalucía..:)

This is his cousin Gerorge (Diana's nephew) son of her sister Sarah, and apart from being a bit fatter, he's a dead ringer for Harry. So perhaps the ginger hair runs in the family, and your suggestion is wide of the mark. Unless a certain major was there as well.

OK he has some Spencer family genes but nothing indicates Windsor.

You could also say that William has the obvious Windsor family genes but nothing indicates Spencer.
