Welcome back to Windsor Castle on what has been a wonderful day of fanfare, Celebration and love. Welcome back to our studio here in the heart of Windsor, Which has been busy these last couple of days. It feels like we have never been away because we haven't. There is a good reason for that. Earlier today behind that wall Prince Harry married Megan Markle. (CHEERING, APPLAUSE) it was a beautiful service watch not just by this lot, but by an audience of 2 billion people. It was a magical occasion. We have all the highlights for you right here. Welcome to wedding of the day. We've got a very exciting love match for you this evening, And it is fair to say everyone played a blinder. Thanks for letting me out of the castle. Can I say it was very high up there. It was very high and very hot, but it was the best view in town. You really felt part of the event, because there were 2000 people in that low award today And they were all there for a good reason. It was a great spectacle. You've done a few of these. How does it compare to other state occasions? When we look back at today, in years to come, we will see this as a major milestone in the royal family. It's all about change. What is happened today is a signal of change. When you look at the diversity of the audience, And the range of people in the audience representing all kinds of people, When you look at the music, because the range of music settle very many different things, That's before you come to the bride and what she symbolises, And the way she did things in her own way today was very impressive, Very dignified. The bride's mother was also incredibly impressive. For all of those reasons, it was way beyond the kind of royal event we normally cover. 2011 was a major occasion, William and Kate. But there was a formality to it that was authoritative and impressive on the day. This was very different. It was meant to be different. And obviously now it is a reflection of the fact that people have picked up on this. There was a lack of formality and that has been seen to be a good thing. In the past the royal family would have seen that is something undesirable. Beautifully summed up. You'll stick around. The eyes of the world have been on this little market town. This morning as dawn broke, the tents were unzipped And the excitement stepped up a gear. At 9.30 this morning the gates opened allowing for the arrival of more than 600 lucky visitors. It was like a game of star spotting for all three of us. You're looking at Idris Elba there with his fiancee. And behind and we have the shy and retiring Oprah Winfrey. And there we are looking at James Blunt. What a spectacular outfit. Joss Stone is a friend of Harry's. There she is heading to her friends nuptials. This is the scene for you. Inside this wonderful chapel, Earl Spencer chatting to some guests. 600 people in this congregation, Representing friends and family. There we have the low award of Windsor Castle. People gathering in the sunshine of may, for this happy day. It couldn't be better weather. They are in for a feast. I'll refer in more detail later on to the kind of service we may be looking forward to. Without giving too many secrets, the music today is absolutely sublime. Marcus Montford. And Carrie Mulligan, his wife. And there we have possibly one of the biggest names. George and Amal Clooney. And the Beckham's two. And Johnny Wilkinson and his wife, with a lovely bump under her lace dress. He has a pretty prominent place in the Quire opposite. There is Elton John. James and Jules Corden. These are some of the actresses from Suits. They are done up to beat the band. Sarah Rafferty. Her suits co-star looking utterly splendid. Serena Williams, one of the greatest female tennis players ever to grace a court. And very recently returned to the court after giving birth to her first child. And now we have some members of the royal family, Who are making their way at quite a leisurely pace Down towards St George's Chapel. Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall. They were married back in 2011, back in Edinburgh. Zara Phillips is expecting a child. Inside that car is the bride to be. Meghan Markle and her mother, Doria Ragland. We will see a glimpse of the bride. The world is waiting. 1.9 billion views. We see she is wearing a veil, but not much more than that. Now we are looking at the groom and his best man. What a welcome they are getting. His brother was only recently asked to be the best man. This is a change of royal tradition. We learned only less than an hour ago, That we will see Prince Harry today put on a wedding ring. That is a new president that has been set. Waving to the crowds. This is what they've been waiting for. We know Prince Harry said in a wonderfully romantic piece of phrasing That when he fell for Meghan Markle, his phrase was the stars have aligned. The two brothers mounting the steps to the west door of St George's Chapel. Look at the amazing display of flowers and foliage. The Dean of Windsor, who is in charge of the service today. Reflecting this status of St George's Chapel, This is not under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Canterbury, It is under The Queens jurisdiction. It is what's known as a Royal peculiar. That reflects the special status of this chapel within Windsor, And the ancient College of Windsor, And the fact that this chapel has many centuries of royal tradition attached to it. Interesting today, when there was a choice around, Prince Harry has chosen to wear the frock coat of the blues and royals, Reflecting his army heritage. He does have more senior uniforms that he could choose from. This is a magnificent sight. That is unbeatable. You are looking at the largest street party in Britain. It is fantastic. They were expecting 100,000 people. I would be surprised if that was more. 20 or 30 deep. That is 2 � miles long. The next time we see Meghan Markle will be when she arrives at the west door. And waiting for her will be her future husband, Prince Harry, And the best man of course, the Duke of Cambridge. Just chatting and exchanging a few words of reassurance and advice. They look slightly nervous, but we completely understand that. There we have the mother of the bride being greeted at the south door. Making her way in. The Rolls-Royce Phantom six. This is a 1970s one, for those of you who are keen on the cars. This is bring the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall To the Galilee porch. This is the entrance that is used by members of the royal family. They will be making their way directly into the quire and into the stalls. Later on the Prince of Wales we making his way down the centre of St George's Chapel To wait for the bride as she arrives at the stroke of midday. We are five minutes away from the start of the wedding service. And of course her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. Her Majesty, at the age of 92, clearly enjoying the day. And the Duke of Edinburgh, who has had his share of ill health, Delighted at the age of 97 that he is able to attend the wedding today. She must be feeling exceptionally proud of her daughter. Completely overwhelmed. The Queen has gone out of her way to make you feel welcome as have the rest of the members of the royal family. I would think she is feeling unbelievably proud that her daughter, an American, is about to marry into the royal family and become the Duchess of Sussex. (FANFARE) the State Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry with the grand fanfare Telling everyone at her Majesty has arrived at St George's Chapel. We are within minutes of this wedding service taking place. This is what I have been waiting for. As soon as we found out that one of the bridesmaid was 2 years old, all of the mothers just went, 'What are you thinking?' Megan has a huge connection as well. It is really nice that it is kind of 50-50. Along with little Ivy today, her brothers will be popping out soon. Twin brothers, age 7. They are all behaving very well so far. And in just a few moments time, the doors will open and we will get to see address that has been talked about more than any other dress in the last couple of months. A lot of speculation not least by us this morning. You see Meghan Markle and all the splendour. She has the twins with her. Out they come. Here comes the bride. And it looks to be an exquisitely cut and in many ways Minimal and traditional dress. With a splendid veil. She is wearing her hair up. The veil has been caught in the May sunshine. Stunning. A wave for the crowd. It does what I said ` it fuses that sophistication and she can is that Meghan brings to her outfits. It is absolutely beautiful. We are looking at Brian and John Mulroney. They are doing a pretty decent job. I don't reckon they have done this before. The dress is Givenchy. Nobody had mentioned her other than you this morning. She managed to keep it under wraps. We have some very special guests now. We are joined by some of the people who are actually there. We spoke to Tessie earlier today. Also Ryan and Marion, we are joined by them. Welcome to you all. As were watching that, you are spotting it all over again. Brian, had quite a nice day? I was invited by the Diana Ward Because I was really standing out. I think loads of people were saying that I was making a difference in where I was. The reason I am here is because I did the mentoring program. And I participated in it. Ryan, this is varied of me, but this is quite a scene we're seeing here. This is the Duke and Duchess of Sussex departing on some grand style. For the private evening reception at Frogmore House. That is a beautiful car. Tell me that Megan is driving please. We just caught a glimpse of what looks like a halter dress. Again, the bride is wearing a soft white. They are departing around the castle quadrangle. To join the guests. More than 600 were at St George's Chapel today. This evening, it will just be close friends and family. I think on that license plate, can you make out what that is? E 190518 nice touch indeed. They were going to the evening reception. Ryan, get ready. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will then return to Windsor Castle they will spend the night. A wave and they look, well, understandably delighted to be with each other. Delighted to be in the Windsor sunshine, chatting away. The bride's here, again, but in a more casual one this time. The dress that she has ring as a halterneck. I think that dress is going to be on the dance floor until the wee hours this morning. Frogmore House is in the home part of Windsor Castle. That is a private area. The last wedding that the house was used for was a reception venue for the wedding of the Queen's eldest grandson. It was Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly back in 2008. If you fancy having a look at Frogmore House, for a few precious days every day, the house and garden is open to the public. For this young couple enjoying what is now a rather barmy and warm evening. They will be looking forward to kicking their heels up with their close friends and family It must be a special place for the engagement pictures. (CHEERING, APPLAUSE) we are very sorry. There is only one couple we would have interrupted you for. How would you sum it up? Today was about inspiration hope and change. It's difficult to describe. You people from the Charity world world, celebrities, altogether. Incredible Your hat was splendid, by the way. The invite said no medals, but we have two people packing today. We wanted to show the legacy of Diana. If there was one way I would describe the day, it would be magical. Everything about it was so amazing. The people they invited really gave a culture and a new tradition. Thank you again for coming. We didn't have much time to talk to you, because we were watching a couple go to the reception this evening. Please do stick around though. (CHEERING, APPLAUSE) Do you think they are a bit refreshed? By midday all the guests had arrived and taken their seats. They were awaiting in eager anticipation for the arrival of the bride. (FANFARE) (FANFARE CONTINUES) (HEAVENLY CHORAL MUSIC) (HEAVENLY CHORAL MUSIC CONTINUES) (SLOW TRUMPET MUSIC PLAYS) (CHORAL MUSIC CONTINUES) (POIGNANT CHORAL MUSIC CONTINUES) (POIGNANT CHORAL MUSIC CONTINUES) (POIGNANT CHORAL MUSIC CONTINUES) (SLOW TRUMPET MUSIC PLAYS) (MUSIC ENDS) THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE LOVE OF GOD, AND THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BE WITH YOU; AND ALSO WITH YOU. GOD IS LOVE, AND THOSE WHO LIVE IN LOVE LIVE IN GOD, AND GOD LIVES IN THEM. IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD, FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT, WE HAVE COME TOGETHER TO WITNESS THE MARRIAGE OF HENRY CHARLES ALBERT DAVID AND RACHEL MEGHAN, TO PRAY FOR GOD'S BLESSING ON THEM, TO SHARE THEIR JOY AND TO CELEBRATE THEIR LOVE. MARRIAGE IS A GIFT OF GOD IN CREATION THROUGH WHICH HUSBAND AND WIFE MAY KNOW THE GRACE OF GOD. IT IS GIVEN THAT AS MAN AND WOMAN GROW TOGETHER IN LOVE AND TRUST, THEY SHALL BE UNITED WITH ONE ANOTHER IN HEART, BODY AND MIND, AS CHRIST IS UNITED WITH HIS BRIDE, THE CHURCH. THE GIFT OF MARRIAGE BRINGS HUSBAND AND WIFE TOGETHER IN THE DELIGHT AND TENDERNESS OF SEXUAL UNION AND JOYFUL COMMITMENT TO THE END OF THEIR LIVES. IT IS GIVEN AS THE FOUNDATION OF FAMILY LIFE IN WHICH CHILDREN ARE BORN AND NURTURED AND IN WHICH EACH MEMBER OF THE FAMILY, IN GOOD TIMES AND IN BAD, MAY FIND STRENGTH, COMPANIONSHIP AND COMFORT AND GROW TO MATURITY IN LOVE. MARRIAGE IS A WAY OF LIFE MADE HOLY BY GOD AND BLESSED BY THE PRESENCE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WITH THOSE CELEBRATING A WEDDING AT CANA IN GALILEE. MARRIAGE IS A SIGN OF UNITY AND LOYALTY, WHICH ALL SHOULD UPHOLD AND HONOUR. IT ENRICHES SOCIETY AND STRENGTHENS COMMUNITY. NO ONE SHOULD ENTER INTO IT LIGHTLY OR SELFISHLY BUT REVERENTLY AND RESPONSIBLY IN THE SIGHT OF ALMIGHTY GOD. HARRY AND MEGHAN ARE NOW TO ENTER THIS WAY OF LIFE. THEY WILL EACH GIVE THEIR CONSENT TO THE OTHER AND MAKE SOLEMN VOWS, AND IN TOKEN OF THIS, THEY WILL EACH GIVE AND RECEIVE A RING. WE PRAY WITH THEM THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL GUIDE AND STRENGTHEN THEM, THAT THEY MAY FULFIL GOD'S PURPOSES FOR THE WHOLE OF THEIR EARTHLY LIFE TOGETHER. The first hynm is a prayer for God's guidance. # LORD OF ALL HOPEFULNESS, # LORD OF ALL JOY. # WHOSE TRUST, EVER CHILDLIKE, # NO CARES COULD DESTROY. # BE THERE AT OUR WAKING, AND GIVE US, WE PRAY. # YOUR BLISS IN OUR HEARTS, LORD, AT THE BREAK OF THE DAY. # LORD OF ALL EAGERNESS, LORD OF ALL FAITH, # YOUR HANDS SWIFT TO WELCOME, YOUR ARMS TO EMBRACE. # BE THERE AT OUR HOMING, AND GIVE US, WE PRAY, # YOUR LOVE IN OUR HEARTS, LORD, AT THE EVE OF THE DAY. PRESENT WHO KNOWS A REASON WHY THESE PERSONS MAY NOT LAWFULLY MARRY, TO DECLARE IT NOW. THE VOWS YOU ARE ABOUT TO TAKE ARE TO BE MADE IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD, WHO IS JUDGE OF ALL AND KNOWS ALL THE SECRETS OF OUR HEARTS; THEREFORE, IF EITHER OF YOU KNOWS A REASON WHY YOU MAY NOT LAWFULLY MARRY, YOU MUST DECLARE IT NOW. HARRY, WILL YOU TAKE MEGHAN TO BE YOUR WIFE? WILL YOU LOVE HER, COMFORT HER, HONOUR AND PROTECT HER AND, FORSAKING ALL OTHERS, BE FAITHFUL TO HER AS LONG AS YOU BOTH SHALL LIVE? I WILL. MEGHAN, WILL YOU TAKE HARRY TO BE YOUR HUSBAND? WILL YOU LOVE HIM, COMFORT HIM, HONOUR AND PROTECT HIM AND, FORSAKING ALL OTHERS, BE FAITHFUL TO HIM AS LONG AS YOU BOTH SHALL LIVE? I WILL. WILL YOU, THE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS OF HARRY AND MEGHAN, SUPPORT AND UPHOLD THEM IN THEIR MARRIAGE, NOW AND IN THE YEARS TO COME? WE WILL. LET US PRAY FOR HARRY AND MEGAN. GOD OUR FATHER, FROM THE BEGINNING YOU HAVE BLESSED CREATION WITH ABUNDANT LIFE. POUR OUT YOUR BLESSINGS UPON HARRY AND MEGHAN, THAT THEY MAY BE JOINED IN MUTUAL LOVE AND COMPANIONSHIP, IN HOLINESS AND COMMITMENT TO EACH OTHER. WE ASK THIS THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST YOUR SON, WHO IS ALIVE AND REIGNS WITH YOU, IN THE UNITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, ONE GOD, NOW AND FOR EVER. AMEN. MY BELOVED SPEAKS AND SAYS TO ME: 'ARISE, MY LOVE, MY FAIR ONE, AND COME AWAY; 'FOR NOW THE WINTER IS PAST, THE RAIN IS OVER AND GONE. 'THE FLOWERS APPEAR ON THE EARTH; THE TIME OF SINGING HAS COME, 'AND THE VOICE OF THE TURTLE-DOVE IS HEARD IN OUR LAND. 'THE FIG TREE PUTS FORTH ITS FIGS, AND THE VINES ARE IN BLOSSOM; 'THEY GIVE FORTH FRAGRANCE. 'ARISE, MY LOVE, MY FAIR ONE, AND COME AWAY.' SET ME AS A SEAL UPON YOUR HEART, AS A SEAL UPON YOUR ARM. FOR LOVE IS STRONG AS DEATH, PASSION FIERCE AS THE GRAVE. ITS FLASHES ARE FLASHES OF FIRE, A RAGING FLAME. MANY WATERS CANNOT QUENCH LOVE, NEITHER CAN FLOODS DROWN IT. IF ONE OFFERED FOR LOVE ALL THE WEALTH OF ONE'S HOUSE, IT WOULD BE UTTERLY SCORNED. # IF YE LOVE ME, # KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, # AND I WILL PRAY THE FATHER, # AND HE SHALL GIVE YOU ANOTHER COMFORTER, # THAT HE MAY 'BIDE WITH YOU FOREVER, # THAT HE MAY 'BIDE WITH YOU FOREVER, # E'EN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH. # # E'EN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH. # # E'EN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH. # # E'EN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH. # # E'EN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH. # # THAT HE MAY 'BIDE WITH YOU FOREVER, # E'EN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH. # # E'EN THE SPIRIT... # OF TRUTH. # THE ADDRESS IS GIVEN BY THE HEAD OF THE EPISCOPALIAN CHURCH IN THE USA. AND NOW IN THE NAME OF OUR LOVING, LIBERATING AND LIFE-GIVING GOD, FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT. AMEN. FROM THE SONG OF SOLOMON, IN THE BIBLE. SET ME AS A SEAL UPON YOUR HEART, AS A SEAL UPON YOUR ARM, FOR LOVE IS AS STRONG AS DEATH. PASSION, FIERCE AS THE GRAVE. ITS FLASHES ARE FLASHES OF FIRE, A RAGING FLAME. MANY WATERS CANNOT QUENCH LOVE. NEITHER CAN FLOODS DROWN IT OUT. THE LATE DR MARTIN LUTHER KING ONCE SAID, AND I QUOTE, 'WE MUST DISCOVER THE POWER OF LOVE, 'THE REDEMPTIVE POWER OF LOVE. 'AND WHEN WE DO THAT, 'WE WILL MAKE OF THIS OLD WORLD 'A NEW WORLD. 'FOR LOVE, LOVE IS THE ONLY WAY.' THERE'S POWER IN LOVE. DON'T UNDERESTIMATE IT. DON'T EVEN OVER-SENTIMENTALISE IT. THERE'S POWER, POWER IN LOVE. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, THINK ABOUT A TIME WHEN YOU FIRST FELL IN LOVE. THE WHOLE WORLD SEEMED TO CENTRE AROUND YOU AND YOUR BELOVED. OH, THERE'S POWER, POWER IN LOVE. NOT JUST IN ITS ROMANTIC FORMS, BUT ANY FORM, ANY SHAPE OF LOVE. THERE'S A CERTAIN SENSE IN WHICH, WHEN YOU ARE LOVED AND YOU KNOW IT, WHEN SOMEONE CARES FOR YOU AND YOU KNOW IT, WHEN YOU LOVE AND YOU SHOW IT, IT ACTUALLY FEELS RIGHT. THERE'S SOMETHING RIGHT ABOUT IT. AND THERE'S A REASON FOR IT. THE REASON HAS TO DO WITH THE SOURCE. WE WERE MADE BY A POWER OF LOVE. AND OUR LIVES WERE MEANT AND ARE MEANT TO BE LIVED IN THAT LOVE. THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE. ULTIMATELY, THE SOURCE OF LOVE IS GOD HIMSELF ` THE SOURCE OF ALL OF OUR LIVES. THERE'S NO MEDIAEVAL POEM THAT SAYS 'WHERE TRUE LOVE IS FOUND, GOD HIMSELF IS THERE.' THE NEW TESTAMENT SAYS IT THIS WAY, BELOVED, LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER, BECAUSE LOVE IS OF GOD, AND THOSE WHO LOVE ARE BORN OF GOD AND KNOW GOD. THOSE WHO DO NOT LOVE DO NOT KNOW GOD. WHY? FOR GOD IS LOVE. THERE'S POWER IN LOVE. BUT LOVE IS NOT ONLY ABOUT... A YOUNG COUPLE. NOW, THE POWER OF LOVE IS DEMONSTRATED BY THE FACT THAT WE'RE ALL HERE. TWO YOUNG PEOPLE FELL IN LOVE, AND WE ALL SHOWED UP. BUT IT'S NOT JUST FOR AND ABOUT A YOUNG COUPLE WHO WE REJOICE WITH. IT'S MORE THAN THAT. SOMEONE ONCE SAID THAT JESUS BEGAN THE MOST REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT IN ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY ` A MOVEMENT GROUNDED IN THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE OF GOD FOR THE WORLD. AND A MOVEMENT MANDATING... PEOPLE TO LIVE THAT LOVE AND IN SO DOING, TO CHANGE NOT ONLY THEIR LIVES BUT THE VERY LIFE OF THE WORLD ITSELF. I'M TALKING ABOUT SOME POWER, REAL POWER. POWER TO CHANGE THE WORLD. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, WELL,... THERE WERE SOME OLD SLAVES IN AMERICA'S ANTEBELLUM SOUTH WHO EXPLAINED THE DYNAMIC POWER OF LOVE AND WHY IT HAS THE POWER TO TRANSFORM. THEY EXPLAINED IT THIS WAY ` THEY SANG A SPIRITUAL, EVEN IN THE MIDST OF THEIR CAPTIVITY. IT'S ONE THAT SAYS THERE IS A BALM IN GILEAD. A HEALING BALM. THERE IS A BALM IN GILEAD TO MAKE THE WOUNDED WHOLE. THERE IS A BALM IN GILEAD TO HEAL THE SIN-SICK SOUL, AND ONE OF THE STANZAS ACTUALLY EXPLAINS WHY. THEY SAID IF YOU CANNOT PREACH LIKE PETER, AND YOU CANNOT PRAY LIKE PAUL, YOU JUST TELL THE LOVE OF JESUS ` HOW HE DIED TO SAVE US ALL. OH, THAT'S THE BALM IN GILEAD! THIS WAY OF LOVE, IT IS THE WAY OF LIFE. THEY GOT IT. HE DIED TO SAVE US ALL. HE DID NOT DIE FOR ANYTHING HE COULD GET OUT OF IT! JESUS DID NOT GET AN HONORARY DOCTORATE FOR DYING! HE WASN'T GETTING ANYTHING OUT OF IT! HE GAVE UP HIS LIFE AND SACRIFICED HIS LIFE FOR THE GOOD OF OTHERS, FOR THE GOOD OF THE OTHER, FOR THE WELL-BEING OF THE WORLD. FOR US, THAT'S WHAT LOVE IS. LOVE IS NOT SELFISH AND SELF-CENTRED. LOVE CAN BE SACRIFICIAL, AND IN SO DOING, BECOMES REDEMPTIVE. DR KING WAS RIGHT. WE MUST DISCOVER LOVE. THE REDEMPTIVE POWER OF LOVE. AND WHEN WE DO THAT, WE WILL MAKE OF THIS OLD WORLD A NEW WORLD. MY BROTHER, MY SISTER, GOD LOVE YOU. GOD BLESS YOU. It's only a little bit over, mate. It's always just a little bit... until you're on the receiving end. One times gold-coloured necklace and pendant. She was alive when I got there. Maybe they'll find a few less K's would've saved her. Imagine having that on your shoulders. (ALARM BEEPS) Everyone thinks they drive well. (HELICOPTER WHIRRS OVERHEAD, INDISTINCT POLICE COMMS) But I've never seen anyone crash well. (WOMAN CRIES) FEMALE OFFICER: Is there anyone we can call for you, Mrs Woolford? (SOBS) MAN: Well, this speed's fine along here. I know these roads. I know these roads pretty well too. And I'm doing everything in my power to stop you from seeing the things I've seen on them. Can I see your driver's licence, thank you?

James Henry Whittaker came to New Zealand because he was restless to find a better way. You look really familiar. JH set up his own chocolate company with his sons for the same restless reason. And it's something that Whittaker's have stuck to. They found better ways to make chocolate, like their still-timeless Toffee Milk. (HORN HONKS, BELL DINGS) And they didn't stop there. Morris invented the Peanut Slab. Still believing best is better, Whittaker's built a new chocolate factory... (CAMERA SHUTTER SNAPS) to make even smoother, better chocolate. And now Andrew and Brian have made a luscious new caramel filling. It's creamier, more buttery and velvety. Mmm. Better in every way, just as JH would expect. Exactly. Well said. I knew I recognised you. You're in our ads. (LIGHT MUSIC) BLESSED ARE YOU, O LORD OUR GOD, FOR YOU HAVE CREATED JOY AND GLADNESS, PLEASURE AND DELIGHT, LOVE, PEACE AND FELLOWSHIP. POUR OUT THE ABUNDANCE OF YOUR BLESSING UPON HARRY AND MEGHAN IN THEIR NEW LIFE TOGETHER. LET THEIR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER BE A SEAL UPON THEIR HEARTS AND A CROWN UPON THEIR HEADS. BLESS THEM IN THEIR WORK AND IN THEIR COMPANIONSHIP; AWAKE AND ASLEEP, IN JOY AND IN SORROW, IN LIFE AND IN DEATH. FINALLY, IN YOUR MERCY, BRING THEM TO THAT BANQUET WHERE YOUR SAINTS FEAST FOREVER IN YOUR HEAVENLY HOME. WE ASK THIS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST YOUR SON, OUR LORD, WHO LIVES AND REIGNS WITH YOU AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, ONE GOD, NOW AND FOREVER. AMEN. GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT, BLESS, PRESERVE AND KEEP YOU; THE LORD MERCIFULLY GRANT YOU THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE, THAT YOU MAY PLEASE HIM BOTH IN BODY AND SOUL, AND, LIVING TOGETHER IN FAITH AND LOVE, MAY RECEIVE THE BLESSINGS OF ETERNAL LIFE. AMEN. FAITHFUL GOD, HOLY AND ETERNAL, SOURCE OF LIFE AND SPRING OF LOVE, FAITHFUL GOD, HOLY AND ETERNAL, SOURCE OF LIFE AND SPRING OF LOVE, WE THANK AND PRAISE YOU FOR BRINGING HARRY AND MEGHAN TO THIS DAY, AND WE PRAY FOR THEM. LORD OF LIFE AND LOVE: HEAR OUR PRAYER. MAY THEIR MARRIAGE BE LIFE-GIVING AND LIFE-LONG, ENRICHED BY YOUR PRESENCE AND STRENGTHENED BY YOUR GRACE; MAY THEY BRING COMFORT AND CONFIDENCE TO EACH OTHER IN FAITHFULNESS AND TRUST. LORD OF LIFE AND LOVE: HEAR OUR PRAYER. MAY THE HOSPITALITY OF THEIR HOME BRING REFRESHMENT AND JOY TO ALL AROUND THEM; MAY THEIR OVERFLOW TO NEIGHBOURS IN NEED AND EMBRACE THOSE IN DISTRESS.

LORD OF LIFE AND LOVE: HEAR OUR PRAYER. MAY THEY NURTURE THEIR FAMILY WITH DEVOTION, SEE THEIR CHILDREN GROW IN BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT AND COME AT LAST TO THE END OF THEIR LIVES WITH HEARTS CONTENT AND IN JOYFUL ANTICIPATION OF HEAVEN. LORD OF LIFE AND LOVE: HEAR OUR PRAYER. LET US PRAY WITH CONFIDENCE AS OUR SAVIOUR HAS TAUGHT US. OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE YOUR NAME; YOUR KINGDOM COME, YOUR WILL BE DONE, ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. GIVE US, THIS DAY, OUR DAILY BREAD.

As the bride and groom, watched by her Majesty the Queen and other members of the royal family, process through the Quire to emerge into the sunshine In the horseshoe cloister at the west end of this chapel. No doubt there will be a rapturous reception for them before they undertake the carriage procession around the sunny streets of Windsor in this lovely day of May. Smiles all around, Nods of encouragement. It's been a happy and uplifting service. Hints of the sunshine to come And the great sight of the West door of St George's Chapel. With members of the household cavalry lining the steps, Ready to escort the couple through the town. (SOLDIERS SHOUT) The bride looking radiant. There is the kiss that everyone was hoping for, waiting for. The sun beautifully lighting the couple there as they make their way out into the Windsor day. The dress beautifully designed by the house of Givenchy. It has the designs of 53 countries of the Commonwealth. I'm joined here again by Tessie. Diana Hosford is with us now too. You saw that whole scene as it unfolded. What was that like? It was stunning. The way they held hands, it was exceptional. It was magical. The perfect end to an extraordinary day. In the cloister there, around about 200 people from charities... That are close to the royal couple's hearts. The tragedy assistance program for survivors Care for families of servicemen in the United States. We are working on a program to mentor bereaved military children in the United Kingdom. I was so honoured to be invited to attend. To have the royal couple, in front about 2 billion people, if you can believe it, shine a light on your organisation. How important is that? Diana gave a voice to the voiceless. She brought help to the helpless. She walked through minefields, to shine light. For them to invite us was a way for the charities to share their stories. Our cameras didn't get into the reception, but you are there. Did you have a good time? It was amazing. The first thing that struck me was this gathering of everyone. I was standing next Oprah Winfrey! Did you talk to her? I had a beautiful conversation with her I realise we had the same colour outfit. A few people had the same outfit. Serena Williams had the same outfit. I went to speak to Oprah. She said I saw you on telly yesterday. That doesn't sound right. I thought you couldn't be talking about me She said I saw you want Halliday yesterday talking about the dress as you were going to wear. You made a great choice. I said can I give you a hug Oprah? And I did. As honoured guests, it has been a long day. Thank you for sharing a remarkable experience with us. There is somebody missing. Dermot is not with me. He is with a remarkable set of guests. Bishop Curry put in a good shift today. And we got the kingdom choir here, everyone. How did it come about? I got a call one day asking if I would like to... Inviting me to be part of the royal wedding. I was on the bus. It wasn't completely cold. I was warned about it. I wasn't told what it was about. I was just told, it's big Karen. When it actually came, and actually got the words, I said, you're joking, right? Where do you start, with something like this? Conducting the Quire, you have been at it for years. But did they say what they wanted you to say? The couple were very hands-on about what they wanted us to sing. And the arrangement was exceptional. They were very particular about that. It was beautiful. That was how they wanted it, and we love it. How was it for you today? It was wonderful. We've been speaking about this, and rehearsing. But when you step into the chapel and are actually going to sing at the Royal wedding, It is scary. You guys must sing every single day. You do wake upand thank, we have a job to do today. In that moment, when everyone is focused on one thing, You just give your all. It was so good to listen to. We you thinking, this is going pretty well? What was going through my mind was hoping they were really enjoying themselves. I had one moment when they came to the centre and look back and listening to us. That was a beautiful moment. I was thinking, this is nearly over. Let's enjoy it. This will be a block booking. The Windsors will have you for every wedding. What I love about Nova is we make getting great value easy. Ashley, you're right. We're more than just Dawn Ocking and... ...Pam Flets! When people call us, we make their Bill! Easy. We make it easy to Joy Nup. Whether it's April, May, June... ...or the first... ...Dave Spring. So when you need energy to cook Stu! Mo. ...the lawn or manufacture... Polly! Esther. Socks. Great value made easy is our priority number... BOTH: Juan! You can hear the roars of the crowd echoing from outside the ramparts. Here they are coming out of the horseshoe close into the lower award. There is another roar now. There are thousands of representatives of all the charities. (BAND PLAYS 'GOD SAVE THE QUEEN') National anthem being played for the new couple to make their way to the lower award. Then they go up towards the castle and power St George's Chapel. Waving to the people who are specially invited and included in this lovely event today and watched keenly by smiling members of the royal family. Including the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh who is here a month after having surgery. Look at the ways and the smiles. It is nice to see the royal family standing by the side of the road waving rather than being in the procession. Surely this is going to be the first time that members of the public outside the castle walls that definitely more than 100,000 that was estimated who have come out to see them, get a chance to see the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex for the first time. What a lovely site that will be. I think the rules that we hear as they come around the streets of Windsor will be quite amazing. It is going to be an impressive show for the world to see. It is a symbol of military precision. The ceremonial flair that the British bring to these things. We see occasions like this sometimes and the Queen welcomes world leaders here. The procession will come up to the castle. What we will see there is really unlike anything. It is the longest procession through the streets of wonder we have seen in a very long time. You mentioned the extraordinary training and precision that goes into this. You have mentioned the extraordinary training and precision goes into this. These horses have special training to prepare them for crowds they will see and hear. Apparently they have earplugs in their ears to help them cope with the noise. It would be lovely for this mounted escort to see the groom and his uniform. I'm sure they would be particularly proud to be escorting them. Household cover is coming down. It really is quite a sight to see. There is a wonderful fusion here of significant British pageantry Matched with the rather charming small-scale streets of Windsor, Which are just sparkling today with these beautiful union flag banners. Estimates today that around about 200,000 people will be there. I think in the final count will be many more thousands than that. The Windsor greys are doing the job well. They not been put off. There were get a glance of the bride and the groom. Everyone has been working very hard on the gardens and their bunting. There are a lot of Stars & Stripes as well which is a very nice touch. A lot of Canadian maple leaves as well. The Commonwealth was a very big theme not only in the bride's wedding dress and her veil, she had every single flower of the Commonwealth. All 53 floral emblems of the Commonwealth embroidered on to her belt. That is properly why the veil was so long. It is a very nice touch. It is slightly redolent of the Queen's coronation down. In those days, but only had eight nations, today it has 53. Prince Harry has often talked so movingly about how his 10 years serving in the armed forces shaped them. For that reason it is so wonderful to see all of the regiments here today. Just looking at them now, happy and taking in all the kind of enjoyment of the day. I think it is normal, as well, at this point that we see them here, newly married couple, ready to embark on this fantastic journey back to Windsor Castle and the reception that will take place in a short while. The reception is hosted by her Majesty the Queen. There will be a private reception later on at Frogmore. Just a thought from you to know about the kind of lives that they plan to leave, the kind of things they plan to do. As they made very clear in the interview when they were engaged, they do see their future very strongly within the Commonwealth. Prince Harry is going to be a Commonwealth youth ambassador. Just as they turned the on to the long walk for the beginning of what really is the centrepiece of this precision. I think the Commonwealth, we have seen touches of it all throughout the service. It is an externally important part of their lives. We don't know whether honeymooners. We have had an awful lot about whether it will be somewhere in the Commonwealth. We know as well that they are literally going to hit the ground running. As soon as they are back from their honeymoon, they are going to be doing quite a lot of travel. We think there is possibly a trip to Dublin being considered. Maybe the Netherlands. In the autumn, they will embark on a big Commonwealth tour to Australia for the Invicta's games. Also possibly to New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga. As the world watches Windsor today, we reckon a worldwide audience of 1.9 maybe we'll be nudging 2 billion. I think Britain is showing its best face. And then there is the cake. There is been a lot of chat about the cake. The cake is elderflower and lemon. We saw a beautiful great big crate of Sicilian lemons on the Instagram account. There they are waving. Is it just me or are the cheers getting louder? Maybe they will have some time to enjoy each other's company before they meet the 600 guests. (both chuckle) she might take a moment. I think they might, who knows what they are saying to each other, I think they might both take a moment to congratulate each other I'm getting through what is essentially an intensely private moment under such scrutiny. As Harry walked down to St George's Chapel earlier today just after 11 o'clock, I did think he had the look of a slightly nervous groom about him. Not any more. He got his girl. He is a very happy man now, isn't he? And the role of the military today is now so personal to Harry. There are 250 members of the armed services or involved in making sure that the splendid bit of pageantry is all it should be. Many of them are servicemen that Harry knows well and has served with. What a shot. Joining us now just a very quickly share their thoughts on what has been an extraordinary event here at Windsor, you guys have stuck around. I just thought it was worth it. You have been watching it all today. What are your thoughts? I think there is such a lot of excitement in this marriage. Prince Harry has long been one of the most popular members of the royal family. People really want to see him happy. He has fallen for somebody who has a background that a lot of people can relate to. She has had to think about paying the bills and forging a career. I think for that reason they are going to be a bit of a tour to force on the world stage. A lot of people feel that they are relatedable. What moment in the ceremony stood up for you? There were so many. I have been talking and writing about how it feels different. But actually seeing it as visceral, it was a motive. I think my personal highlight was the sermon. Not just the delivery of it but the faces of some of the audience members. They quite clearly have never been to a black church before. It was priceless. It was unlike anything people they had experienced before. It was unlike anything the British people were seen before in the context of a royal wedding. It was pretty remarkable. He was saying don't underestimate it. In the nicest way possible, Bishop Michael was challenging the couple. He was challenging them to think about love and how they want to lead their lives. For me, that is the thought this evening. They have had a great start. For me, the acid test now is that they have an amazing platform. They have a lot of influence. They have supported some very prominent and radical forces. The big test for me is what will they achieve with that? It is all well and good to see the celebration which we have all loved and enjoyed. They will have to show some results as well. They do face to test. Do they get a honeymoon period for you? I want it now. It has been a marvellous day here in Windsor. One of the things that I thought was remarkable was that he said to young people fell in love and we all showed up. That kind of reduced it down to a simplicity. It is been full of conjecture. In the end, it is kind of just about that. It is just about to people doing what many people hope they will have in their life one day, which the wedding where they just say we are in. It is at its heart a love story. I think that is why so many people relate to it. It is a story about two people who no one could have predicted would have come together. I think that is what is so modern about this. I think that is what we value. We value people doing things that they believe in rather than the positions that they have. As he said, that is the intention of the royal family. How are family who is about an inherited privilege you can make themselves relevant. I'm very interested to see what they will make. However you seen this evolve? I think Megan was very keen to get Megan out of the attention while they were dating. Quite soon as the relationship, it became quite important for her to get out there and meet people. She has been doing a lot. They have been doing several engagements over the last few months. She has put out the straight away to reps at the royal family. That shows the confidence that they have in her. She is very natural. Thank you very much for sticking around. It is but a long day. I hope you have enjoyed our coverage of the royal wedding. Thank you to all of our guests for providing us with an insight of what is an incredible occasion.
