We didn#t watch it all, in fact put the TV on just as the ArchBish was announing "whosoever God has joinedlet no man put asumder" so we missed most of the service but what we did see we enyoyed. She looked absolutely stunning, but just what the princesses were wearing, oh dear! Considering they are still in their teens they looked frumpish, and as for those hats! Zara Philips looked fabulous as well, and I did like to see the Queen in such a bright sunny colour. A friend in France watched it from start to finish, but couldn't get to "Le Street Party" afterwards as she had had too much champagne by then! She had special reasons for watching though as she had been the headmistress of a military school and some of her ex pupils were there (mostly officer types) in their prime doing their military best and she was very proud of them. I hope her head isn't too achy today as she is expecting moe gusts (she runs a B&B) and there can be few things worse than welcoming guests with a thick head! What ever other problems we might have in Britain, no-one does pomp and ceremony quite as well!!!

There were comments about how much it was costing the taxpayer (somewhere round �20,000,000 I gather), but having read that the shops had taken �360,000,000 more over this weekend for food and drink (and that's a hell of a lot of spondulas!) than for the long Easter weekend, I would think the taxpayer can see all of their 20 mill recouped just from the shops, let alone all the visitors who descended in their droves, plus it will have a knock on effect anyway from people who saw it on the TV and who will now decide to come to Blighty for a holiday. Not a bad day's work all in all. But then I'm a confirmed Royalist anyway. Rather have a non-political head of state than a politician, and not just a non-political head of state but one who is revered nearly all over the world.
