Married life begins for William and Kate

Prince William and Kate have woken up to their first day as a married couple after a royal wedding that provided all the pomp and circumstance expected of it.

The couple took their vows in Westminster Abbey in front of 1900 guests ranging from the Queen to the postman from Kate’s home village.

Hundreds of thousands lined the streets of London to cheer the Prince and Kate, the first commoner in 350 years to become Queen-in-waiting.

After the service there was the obligatory appearance at the balcony of Buckingham Palace and the kiss everyone was waiting for.

Canapes at the palace, then time for a quick change ready for the evening party – a relatively intimate affair for 300 close friends and family – hosted by Prince Charles.
