HORSEYS!

Intellectually, I am all over the Republican side of things, but when it boils down to it, most politicians end up being twats or numpties, and despite the many shortcomings of the Monarchy, they really do cavalry tremendously well! I find I have confidence in a head of government backed up by swords on horseback.

That was a very satisfying wedding. Everyone looked terrific, or terrifically silly (which is just as good), the bride was the prettiest, no one else was dressed exactly like the Queen, and all the readings and lessons were generous and appropriate.

And I bet Harry volunteered to be in the kids' coach so he could encourage vigorous waving and giggling.

Lovely wedding. Absolutely wonderful dress (the veil was <3). The address of the Bishop of London was one of the best wedding speeches I've heard. The best, I reckon. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge look very satisfied and obviously fit each other very well. Awesome through and through, this wedding thing.

It was a very good address, wasn't it? I thought that it very beautifully respected the relationship they had already built while setting the stage for the next part of it, which I hope will be long and happy. Young people in love need hope! And yes, I agree that they fit nicely together. Always very nice to see happy couples taking the plunge.
