Highlights to me were the singing of "Jerusalem" during the service and the massive crowds down the Mall.

History was made today, with a future King marrying a commoner, history is what brings tourism into Britain.   The Royal Family will continue to do that for generations.

My nomination for the award of misery guts of the day goes to Peter Hain MP, Labour Shadow Cabinet Member, who tweeted this during the service:
