No invitation, no problem plenty of ways to view the royal celebration

On Friday 29th April HRH Prince William of Wales will marry Miss Catherine Middleton at Westminster Abbey. Don't worry if you have not received your invitation for the blessed event there is plenty of ways to be part of the celebration. Those not invited inside the abbey can watch the wedding live on television, celebrate with a gathering at the local pub, or try to catch a glimpse of the royal couple while watching from the London streets.

Another option is to visit Hyde Park where three giant screens will be airing all the pomp and circumstance free. The gates will open at 7 a.m. and is on a first-come, first-served basis, so arrive early to make sure you catch everything from the first glimpse of the bride to the first kiss. Take your viewing to new heights with a ride on the Hyde Park Celebration Wheel which will offer spectacular views over the procession route. The wheel opens at 10 a.m. and one trip around the wheel will cost 7.50 pounds for adults and 5 pounds for children.

The Royal Wedding Procession will take in some of London’s most impressive sights, promising a truly memorable event. To aid those watching the merriment from the streets, the Royal Parks has provided an interactive and downloadable map at www.royalparks.gov.uk. The map highlights visitor amenities including restrooms, refreshments, restaurants, and official merchandise souvenir shops.
