Apparently that Aston Martin has been converted to ethanol gasoline made from scraps from British wineries. The "L" learner's plate ont he front grill is a joke that they are just learning to be newlyweds.

I wonder who let them have plate "JU3T WED?" Common folk have to request vanity plates, and all the good puns or play on words were claimed long ago.

Given the normal fair of TV programing and news, it was really enjoyable to just sit and watch a HAPPY event. BBC America got it right with their live coverage they showed the whole thing from 3-9 without a single advertisement.

When by our little Inn run by two Britishers at 5:30 in the morning on the way to the Gym in the morning and the Inns lot was full and the Pub was open.

Was a bit surprised that the flyovers went directly over the Palace but it was neat a great show.

Hope the couple have a long happy life together.

Cheers

My suspicion about the licence plate is that it was knocked up for the event, I know there are lots of restrictions to doing so but if you have clout . . . anything can be obtained.

Re, seat belts and licence plate. The Aston is old enough that I don't believe it's actually fitted with seatbelts - couldn't see any in the pictures. As the roads in that part of London are actually classed as 'private' (within a Royal Park) I don't think that strictly within the law there were any problems with the licence plate on this occassion. If it was done on a normal day I expect plod would still have something to sy about it!

They the royal couple made a lovely pair and look as though they are in love very much as well

Due to a big storm that took out the power we couldn't watch any of it before work. I did manage to catch quite a bit at lunch time fortunately. The small TV at the garage was on all day and there were lots of clips on the news channels so any time you walked by you saw another part.

Hi Barry

Strange we lost power here just after 9 am here as well. They had just finished the live coverage here and they were starting the repeats when the power went out for the entire town. Killed the party up at the pub.

I had set the DVD recorder the night before to get the live coverage which we did. My wife watched the whole thing live but I only saw bits of until we watch it in the evening.

Cheers Phil
