Wedding Insurance News - April 2011

With the Royal wedding just around the corner, Compare Wedding Insurance takes a quick look at the plans for the big day.

From 8am, the 1,900 guests invited by Prince William and Kate Middleton will begin to arrive at Westminister Abbey, taking their places ready for the 11am service.

At 10.15am, Prince William and his brother and best man Prince Harry will arrive at Westminister Abbey, having made the short journey by Bentley from Clearence House.

Between 10.20am and 10.40am, members of the Royal Family and Kate Middletons family will arrive at Westminister Abbey, taking their places inside.

At 10.45am the Queen and the Duke of Edinbugh will arrive from Buckingham Palace.

At 10.55 the final guests and bridesmaids will all be in postion, awaiting the arrival of the bride.

Kate Middleton will arrive with her father at 11am, after making their way to the Abbey in a Rolls Royce. The wedding ceremony will begin upon her arrival, and will last for about an hour.

Prince William and the now Princess Catherine will leave Westminister Abbey at about 12.15pm, making their way to Buckingham Palace alongside their military escort. Other guests will follow, making their way to the palace if they have been invited to the reception.

At 1.25pm the Queen, alongside the bride and groom and their families, will appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

At 1.30pm the Royal Air Force and Battle of Britain Memorial Flight will perform a ceremonial Fly-Past in honour of the happy couple.

Whether you will be at home watching this auspicious event on TV, or bustling in the crowds in London, here at Compare Wedding Insurance hope you have a fantastic day!

The Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton will be taking place on the 29th of April, which has been declared a bank holiday.

Workers nationwide will celebrate both this wonderful occasion, and a bonus day off work, which combined with the Easter bank holidays, and the first May bank holiday, will give us two four day weekends in a row.

The Archbishop of Canterbury will marry the couple in Westminister Abbey, before the newlyweds proceed in a glass carriage along Parliament Aquare, Horse Guards Parade, and The Mall to Buckingham Palace where a reception will be hosted by the Queen. A private dinner and dance will then be hosted in the evening by the Prince of Wales for the couple with their close friends and family.

With the media suggesting that people across the UK organise street parties for local residents, and everybody getting an extra day off work, getting married on the royal wedding day is a popular choice.

Whilst your own ceremony is unlikely to be quite as large and extravagant as Prince William and Kate Middleton, there's no reason why it isn't just as special.
