Although I am not a believer I really enjoyed watching the lovely wedding service today. I hope you watched and enjoyed it too. Everything seemed to go perfectly and fortunately the threatened rain held off. The happiness of the young couple, and the joy and delight and good wishes of the hundreds of thousands of people in London expressly to be part of the occasion and to celebrate, was a pleasure to see. So much of the news these days is tragic, but this royal wedding day will have lifted the spirits of many millions around the world, even if only briefly. I thought the music was magnificent, and particularly enjoyed Blest Pair of Sirens, glorious music by Parry, wonderful words by Milton, a Parliamentarian in the time of the Civil War.
I wish Prince William and his beautiful bride a long and happy marriage and I wish everyone else a very happy holiday weekend.
