Prince William and Kate Middleton say, they have been 'incredibly moved' by the affection shown to them since they announced their engagement.
At the moment, each flower meticulously arranged, the aisle of Westminster Abbey transformed into a flowering green avenue of trees. Kate Middleton had a last rehearsal at Westminster Abbey with best man Prince Harry, pageboys and the bridesmaids.
Crowds swell outside the abbey. The 26-year-old Sarah White of London, camping out across from the abbey says, "It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Not many kings-to-be are going to be married anytime soon."
Kate Middleton & Family arrive at Goring hotel.
Over 1,500 soldiers, sailors and air crew will be on ceremonial duty to line the couple's procession route between the abbey and Buckingham Palace, just 1.6 kilometers. In additional, 5,000 uniformed and undercover police will be alert for threats.
The Queen is hosting an event for British and foreign royals at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in central London. A global guest list of 1,900 that includes kings and queens, music royalty, sports stars, university chums and charity workers as well as friends and family.
The recessional music will be an abridged version of William Walton's 'Crown Imperial' played when Prince William and Kate Middleton walk back down the aisle at Westminster Abbey after their wedding on Friday morning.
But as wedding excitement heated up, the weather in London cooled down. So, Royal wedding fans may want to pack extra umbrellas.
Britain has not seen a royal celebration on this scale since 1981, when Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer.
In a message Prince William and Kate Middleton thanked everyone most sincerely for their kindness.
