The Royal Wedding – The Kiss and the Balcony

As the crowds surged forward along the mall towards Buckingham Palace, the masses were jockeying for the best vantage point to see the newlywed wed couple, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the famous balcony of Buckingham Palace.

A big cheer was heard as the family stepped out onto the balcony. Flags were waving, people were shouting. The atmosphere was electric.

We decided to join the celebrations on the ground as we were really nearby. There were hundreds of policemen milling around and we were surrounded by a very excited and relatively docile crowd. There were all sorts of languages being spoken around us, showing how this wedding has caught the imagination of so many people.

The crowded shouted for the newly weds to kiss and they obliged, twice.
