Prince William & Duchess Kate Are Married At Last

Prince William and Kate Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge, have been married at Westminster Abbey in London.

Around a million spectators watched the royal procession on the streets of London and some had camped out for days for the best viewing spots.

Out of the 1,900 guests at the Abbey, 1,000 were friends and family, who were given some of the best seats in the house. The others included overseas royals, politicians, military personnel and representatives of various faiths and charities

After the service, the newly-weds traveled in an open-topped carriage for the 15-minute journey from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace, past London landmarks, including the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and Horse Guards Parade

There were 5,000 police officers and more than 1,000 military personnel on duty, with musicians and extra 900 more police officers lined along the procession route.

Thousands of street parties were held around the UK, and big screens were put up in many towns and cities. About two square miles of central London were closed to traffic.
