The Big Fat Royal Wedding

Tents, tears and tiaras in Hyde Park London

Crowds gathered around giant screens erected in Hyde Park last Friday to watch the live broadcast of the ‘fairytale wedding’. Over 80,000 people, most sporting Union Jacks, watched the live broadcast of the Royal Wedding while champagne was served from makeshift bars.

In shock! William and Catherine got married just after 11am, kissed on the balcony at 1.30pm and papers had it printed and distributed by 4pm. How the FFFFF?

If you can't get William, why not go for Harry?
