Evening everyone,
I'm back from seeing it on the big screen.
It was very good. I think about 70 people turned up in the end.
I liked what Princess Eugenie was wearing. very chic and very smart.
Princess Anne was there. I saw her in the congregation. I liked her outfit.
I did have a piece of cake and a glass of champagne!
It was a lovely wedding!I did see someone wearing lime green and I did see a couple of chaps in kilts!

Come on everyone, where are you all. I have had two glasses of champagne, here in the bar, and I am getting some rather strange looks,as I appear to be the only unaccompanied female, and I need some back up.

Maddie dearest, was that the old bat named Auntie Motie, that I spotted earlier this morning going down the Mall.
Pon my soul no wonder that policeman took her away rather quickly. My apologies to you, for slandering your name.

Just seen Princess Grace of Monaco on the news and there are similarities there too Maddie.
Did anyone else see Princess Ann at all in the programmes shown? I did see her outfit on a web page so she was definately there. Just wondered.

Enjoy any parties you might be attending. Me I am at home waiting til hubby gets home as usual

Did anyone see the similarity between Catherines' dress and that of Princess Margarets? Both very fitted in heavy silk.

I thought it was great, but I missed the car taking them away from Buck House.

Mo dear, how can I say this to you dear? The Old Bat is not Me. SHE is someone taking my name in vain. She is the one with the tuk-tuk, I am far too ladylike to ride a tuk-tuk. One just doesnt, dont you know. lol

Street party up the other end of the road. I stayed up our end of the road.

well that went off well dont you think ? I thought the whole thing was so moving. I liked it when William drove out of the Palace in his fathers car with the balloons and ribbons on it. If Victoria was a live she would have said " I am not amused ."

The little bits we didnt see I thought were very funny the Priest doing a cart wheel up the isle where the trees were. I wonder what he will say if he didnt know it was being filmed and see's it on TV.

Dermot I thought the same thing what will happened when Fergusons daughters get married ? will Mother not be invited or will most members of the Royal Family not attend the wedding.

I beleive there is another royal wedding coming up soon ? not sure if it is Princess Anne daughter or one of the others. ? Marrying a Rugy player.?

We have a party going on in the next turning. the private car pak belonging to us has been overtaken by cars from this party I. counted 12 the music is so loud I have had to closed all my windows and doors to the rooms and the party is three doors away from me all young men and women they seem to have a party every other week. The Estate Manger went to get her car out of the car park a few minutes ago as she went out, not for her to put up with the racket, and she had a job getting her car drivers door open she didnt walk down and ask them to lower the music.or about parking in a car park , that tells you something.

I SHALL WALK ALONG THERE MYSELF IF THEY CARRY ON AND ASK THEM MYSELF.

I know what they will say and it will be alot of swearing.

Hmmm an interesting thought is that Dermot. But I doubt if they will get as much pomp and ceremony, as we have witnessed today though.

The Syrian Ambassador was invited & then un-invited.

Sarah Ferguson was not invited at all. Interesting to see what happens when her two lovely daughters tie the knot.

Yvonne, the prices this place charges, there had better be enough hot water for all of us, or there will be hell to pay, but no bills paid on leaving.

Don't take all the hot water Mo, save some for the rest of us

Hey you two, how did we miss each other.

I am just going to have another bath, I have got to get the smell of them horses off of my clothes. I know I shouldn't have stood there talking to that mounted policeman for so long, but I was lost, and he did offer to show me the way back to the hotel. He was sooooooo nice, and it was only a little k.... oops mustn't say, I am sworn to secrecy.

I did see Maddie earlier, in her little Tuk Tuk, but I believe she was shooed out of the parade up the Mall, by a big burly policeman, I haven't seen her since. Mind you knowing Maddie, she has probably sneaked in by a secret door, she knows them all dontcha know.

I'm already there Mo, I needed a lie down after all that excitement.

I think Harry looks like Diana's brother and her father.


Edit: Oops, we posted at the same time Yvonne. Leave the food alone, or you'll never fit into that slinky dress you got for tonight.

I'm full up now, so many courses, I was getting in a muddle with all the cutlery.

Just saying my goodbyes to William and Catherine so I'll see you back at the hotel, need a rest and put me feet up before tonights knees up

Yvonne could you smell my feet from that distance then, good grief I didn't realise they were that bad.
Those Corgi's have been leaving little presents all over the Palace, the Queen is not amused.

I do agree about Catherine's dress, it was simple, but very very elegant.
Princess Diana would have been so proud of William today,a really handsome young man, who fortunately takes after his mother. Poor Harry, I don't know quite who he looks like though.
Luckily, neither of the boys have got "Jug ears".

All these people are giving me a headache, I think I will trot back to the hotel. Hopefully you will all be back there soon, so that we can dance the night away.

Yes, Kate's dress was really beautiful, as was she! I loved it, she's got very good taste.

I think William is the lucky one........... Kate is perfect for him.

Yvonne Report 29 Apr 2011 14:39

That was lovely, wasn't Kate's dress beautiful.

I enjoyed the ride down the Mall waving at everyone, tucking into dinner now, I'm starving. Had to wait for the photos and the balcony, my tummy was rumbling, I got a stare from the Queen but I blamed it on the corgis lol

Hello Mo, I thought that was you with your feet in the fountain lol

I loved her dress and thought it all went well

Ahhhh the Kiss was wonderful, but the noise from the aircraft flying overhead was a bit deafening.
I don't know where everyone else is, I have lost you all again.
Did you see me waving my flag ,with my feet soaking in the fountain, coo they dont arf ache.
All this walking aint doing much good for my aching joints.
Now if I walk round by this fence, I might see one of you.
Just remember I have got my Union Jack dress on, there are a few others who have had the same idea, but none as nice as mine, mine fits me better.
If I blow my whistle perhaps you will hear it above all this noise, Peeeeep,Peeeep whoooo hoooo, where are you all.
