As soon as I realised that we would be in the UK when the Royal wedding took place I insisted that we had to go and see it. to watch the pomp and ceremony.
We were staying with friends in Cobham which is not too far from Windsor and a few days before the wedding we drove up to Windsor for a look at parking options and nearby train stations etc.
At that time we were able to drive through the streets of Windsor and see all the decorations in the shops and the miles and miles of bunting around the town. Houses in the nearby streets decorated their homes with bunting and cardboard cut outs of Harry and Megan.
We decided to take the train to Windsor from Cobham. Plenty of parking there. We left early on the day of the wedding and it was easy and no big crowds. We got to Windsor around 10am and walked around the town and then to the Long Walk leading up to Windsor Castle. The crowds were building up there so we found a good spot opposite one of the big TV screens.
The atmosphere was amazing. People waved flags, sang along with choirs, cheered loudly. Everyone was friendly. We talked to lots of people. We took a picnic as did most of the people along the Long Walk. We saw the bride arrive in her Rolls Royce. they drove her up the Long Walk but at a great speed and we didnt see much of her.
After the ceremony the couple got in their carriage along with guards on horses. I had a great view of the royal couple in their carriage. It was worth every minute. I was so glad we went. Getting home we had a bit of a crush for a short time but given the huge crowds it was minor. We were soon on a train and on our way back to Cobham and we got seats on the train thanks to some kind youngsters. We arrived back in Cobham at 6pm which we thought was very good.
