Sure watched just before heading off to work starting at about 6Am local in Ont Quebec time...
absolutely lovely event.. the Brits sure do know how to do this kind of thing extremely well ! Such pomp and pageantry is so rare these days Liked the trees in the cathedral. The choir and singing was magnificent. They all looked great, and who didnt chuckle at the two girls really silly hats. A real bright note in an otherwise grey and chilly spring here in Canada. Hurray for William and Kate

Abbey
The oak trees in Westminster Abbey are to be planted in Prince Charles's Highgrove Estate.
Next year of course we have the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, and that should be a major pomp and circumstance event with the Golden State Coach used again.

I was even in uniform (CADPAT though) as I was watching during breakfast before heading out for weekend training. Quite an impressive spectacle. Should have been more OD green in the procession!

Royal Wedding
We celebrated here in England, by showing a choice selection of vehicles at my local pub ! We were invited by the landlord to help them stage celebrations for the wedding, so we feilded a 1940's pushbike, a Canam 350 motorcycle, a 1940 Ford F8 belonging to Anthony, a 1941 Bedford 15cwt in RAF markings (1st time out), and my 1942 C30 LAAT. Not only did we have a good few hours at the pub, talking to people, I also ended up being interveiwed by the local radio for a live broadcast. Did'nt see much of the wedding though !
