Well I can honety say I had the best 27 hours of my life this time last week, I arrived at Buckingham Palace at 11am on Thurs 28th April, along with my daughter and husband who did not really want to be there and were planning on leaving me in the evening!

I found a great spot to set up camp out side the Palace with full view of The Balcony, we were soon very settled with fold up chairs, coffee and sandwiches etc. Within minutes I had a number of great new friends including a mother and 6 year old daughter from Watford, a GUY from Australia with his English girlfriend and a lady from South Africa.  It was a real party atmosphere already, traffic was buzzing past, film crews were interviewing us and photographers were everywhere, we got really blaze about having our picture taken, I am sure we are on the front pages of Italian daily paper and Australian TV!!!  As more and more people joined us it got more and more exciting, a couple of ladies joined us from Illinois USA, just flown in that day, came straight down to the Palace and would be leaving on Monday after the Wedding… wow.  Then the traffic was stopped and the road was cleared at 10pm, out came the sniffer dogs, they did such a great job.  We had a chat with Michael Portilo who was very impressed with our great spot, here are a few other non Royals who we saw – Sharon Osbourne, Australian Prime Minister, Adrian Childs, Eamon Holmes, Brandon Cole (Strictly Come Dancing)

So we got a few cold hours of sleep before the sun came up at just after 5am, here we are.

But things were hotting up all the road cleaners, police and the armed guards all started to arrive, they put out the red carpet and the frills on the balcony.  We watched the Queen depart, she looked stunning in yellow don’t you agree.

Kate looked amazing in her Alexandra McQueen dress, (which I did blog about a few weeks ago, The Times got that one right?)as she glided past on her way to Church in the fantastic Rolls Royce with her father.  Then we got to hear the bridal service from the speakers which were set up, we all listening, singing and enjoying this historic event happening before our eyes.

We did not have to wait long to see the beautiful Kate and William, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in the open top carriage, they looked so happy together and gave out lots of waves and smiles. This was one of the best shots, as I was sooo excited (sorry I am not a photographer!!)

We then watched all the other guest arrive…..

They are a fabulous modern couple who a deeply in love it is very clear to see.  This day has done wonders for the Wedding Industry, new dresses will be designed, rings, earrings, make-up, bridesmaids, cars, horse and carriages all duplicated

That was truly a magnificent day which only the British can do, my family and I will never forgot that we were there on the the day our future Kind got married…………
