The
place to be on the weekend of April 9th was Windsor... where Charles and Camilla
finally tied the knot. Staffordshire girl Sharon Thorpe now lives there and
got herself and the family in position outside the Guildhall Registry very early. Sharon
gave us her impressions of the day - and her photos!

It
was a sunny warm morning as the crowds built up in readiness for the arrival of
the Royal couple. We were lucky enough to get a spot opposite the Guildhall
entrance along side a huge number of press photographers. This was a bonus
for the members of the family that had travelled from Leek to take part in the
celebrations.
Faces The celebrities were aplenty - including
Trinny & Susannah, Nicholas Witchell, Johnathan Dimbleby & Sophie Wrayworth to
name but a few.

The first
guests arrived at about 12.25pm including Prince William - who is even better
looking in the flesh! - Prince Harry, Tom & Laura Parker Bowles, Prince Edward
& Sophie Countess of Wessex, Prince Andrew & Princesses Eugenie & Beatrice, along
with a host of other Royals.
Then the Royal couple arrived - to huge cheers
from the 15,000 strong crowd who had waited patiently to see them arrive.
A
good day The ceremony went without a hitch & the couple left the Guildhall
at 1pm & moved back to the Castle - where the marriage was blessed in St Georges
Chapel in front of 700 distinguished guests & celebrities.
All in all
a great day & nice to have witnessed history in the making. ST
