Thread Name: BS: I'm Not Going To Bill & Cate's Wedding
Subject: RE: BS: I'm Not Going To Bill & Cate's Wedding
From 999: "Both IRA and a `radical` Muslim group have stated intentions to get involved with the wedding. Anything about that announced in England, or does anyone know."

No, nothing's been mentioned, as far as I know. Hopefully they'll be looking out for exactly that possibility though. It's a fear I have about tomorrow....and in a way I'll be relieved when it's all over, with everyone safe and sound.

Great to see folks from around the world out there this morning, camping out already, from Canada and the USA, really excited and happy to be in London...air of excitement growing now...and good to see the folks from Kate and William's local corner shop being invited too...They're such a sweet couple, really love one another. She's wearing a sari to the Wedding (being Indian) spent ages finding just the right one. They're both so looking forward to it and are both so over the moon to have been asked.

The trees look beautiful in the Abbey. They've come from one of the Royal Estates, over 20 feet high, and they were Kate's idea, apparently. Good taste, Kate!

I'm thrilled they've put two fingers up to Blair and Brown. They Royals have very little power these days, very few opportunities to get their own back, but they sure as heck have done it bigtime there....and I can still recall the (imo) deeply odious Cherie Blair strolling happily down the aisle of Westminster Abbey at Diana's funeral, smiling, swinging her handbag, almost as if she were rejoicing.

I should imagine that William will be wishing, with all his heart and soul, that his Mum was there tomorrow. And as she can't be, I think we all should be.

An historical day tomorrow and I hope, a safe one for all.



Fred, my roots, propably yours too, I'd imagine, are as much entwined with Princes as with Paupers, for they are all part of the history of this wondrous country of ours.

Kate's family are very ordinary...and whilst her immediate family may be worth a great deal of money, (they own internet companies which make things such as...wait for it...Royal Wedding Souvenirs - ya gotta see the humour there!) many of them are really ordinary folks, probably with very ordinary lives and low paid jobs.

Finally The Prince And The Pauper are becoming One....and I think that's something to be really pleased about.
