the camaraderie and community spirit, it'sjust wonderful, it really is, it's when britain comes together. bobby, aaron and ash are members of the armed forces enjoying a day off in the sun. we see harry quite often, being in the queens guards, we see him in many occasions, birthday parades, queen's birthday parade's coming up. we also see him at different events in london. have you ever spoken to him? i have indeed. i did the security for the london marathon, we had a chat. got my picture with him. for 12—year—old phoebe, the bride was the main draw. meghan is american. she is not fully british and everything, she is, like, multicultural, and it's really nice, you can relate to her. it's really nice to have a change, that's what i like about it. six—year—old rose had a novel theory about prince harry. harry's lonely and he was in the war. i don't know anything else!

as people watched proceedings on the big screen, there was admiration for the dress. applause for the queen and meghan markle's mother. and some hilarity at watching the contrasting worlds within the chapel. the guy was lively. he wasn't one of those that are at goal and put you to sleep. you know what i mean? he gave some of the people in there a bit of a shock for the first time, and i like that. the people had a good laugh out here. this is the moment they have all been waiting for. people have been here for hours and hours and they're going wild. i got the back a little bit and the front of the horses and the carriage. when they went past, we got a perfect shot. it was worth it. it was very weird that i've actually

seen them in person now. in my dreams, i thought i would never be able to see them in person. perhaps she wasn't the only one to marvel at a fairy tale made real. reeta chakra barti, bbc news, windsor. it was the service that marked this out as a modern, diverse wedding for a modern diverse couple. a highlight was the sermon by bishop michael curry from chicago who spoke passionately about the power of love, quoting dr martin luther kinng. adina campbell has been speaking to bishop curry, and hearing reaction to the service. # and the moon is the only light we see... a royal wedding like no other. the soulful sounds of this london—based gospel choir, capturing the sentiment of today's ceremony, a turning point for tradition, a blend of two different cultures, a british milestone. # so darling, darling,

stand by me... also celebrated at this pub in peckham, where the crowds enthusiasticallyjoined in. this was a wedding with a difference. look how many people are here today, how many people were smiling when they kissed. i think everyone's been waiting for a moment like this for so long. i can't believe it! in terms of, i've seen other royal weddings on the tv, but this one was absolutely different. harry's been a bit of a bad boy, do you know what i mean, so for him to, like, shake up the establishment and bring it into the current century is amazing. the party atmosphere here in this pub in peckham is pumping. the drinks are flowing, people are enjoying the food and the music, and there will be many more toasts for the new duke and duchess of sussex. but it was the charismatic american bishop who stole the show. let us love one another,

because love is of god, and those who love know god. those who do not love do not know god. and it came as no surprise that the chicago born preacher was soon inundated with media requests. it's palpable, their love and relationship, you can actually see it. they smile at each other, they kind of giggled every once in awhile. i have a feeling that they're going to have an impact long after i've flown back to the us. they're going to have an impact through their lives. and also making his mark was 19—year—old cellist, sheku kanneh—mason. it made the occasion such a feeling of celebration, and i think that was such an amazing thing. three memorable moments showing off black culture and a new side

to the british royalfamily. adina campbell, bbc news. the wedding has been celebrated with street parties and gatherings across the country. families and wellwishers attended a garden party at carlton towers, near goole, in yorkshire, soaking in the sun in front of big screens that had been put up specially. there was beautiful weather, as well as picnics and face painting, for those who spent the afternoon celebrating at antrim castle in northern ireland. crowds gathered from early in the day, to watch the ceremony at a specially organised live screening. the crowds on brighton sea front had a particular interest in the day — as they tuned in to watch the newly named duke and duchess of sussex tie the knot. many there dressed up for the occasion. hundreds spent the afternoon by the beach, in front of a a0 square metre screen. and it wasn'tjust brits in the uk with a special interest in proceedings. british forces in afghanistan, where prince harry served two tours in the army,

decorated their base with bunting and union jack flags. a special tea was served, with cucumber and coronation chicken sandwiches, as well as a cake. hundreds of millions of people around the world watched the wedding not least in los angeles — the home city of the duchess of sussex. 0ur correspondent james cook reports now on the reaction from the united states. it's well before dawn in the republic over the water. but the cat and fiddle is packed. they rejected the monarchy in 1776 but, for many americans, the crown never went out of fashion, least of all with this bride. here in los angeles, meghan markle is a local. she's like our homegirl. and i think that she and harry are very much in love and they thought through so many social problems and issues and stigmatisms and just let their love prevail. it was beautiful.

i loved everything. it was not as traditional as usual, which i liked. you can say that again. five and a half thousand miles from windsor, there was amazement as white british aristocracy met black american spiritualism. cheering it was definitely american and it was beautiful because it was encouraging, it was inspiring and i know someone in there who is not used to it was touched in their soul. the seed was planted. well, the audience here found that to be an engrossing ceremony. two and a half centuries after the americans ditched the tyrannical british, the crown, it seems, still has the capacity to entrance and surprise. james cook, bbc news, los angeles. nick witchell is with me now.

your reflections on what has been quite a day. yes, i guess every wedding, in some way, reflects the personalities and the preferences of the people being married. this was no exception. this was very harry and meghan, the intensity of the feelings they have for each other was very visible. the gospel choir, the passionate preacher, michael curry, iam gospel choir, the passionate preacher, michael curry, i am sure not sure saint james preacher, michael curry, i am sure not sure saintjames ‘s preacher, michael curry, i am sure not sure saint james ‘s chapel has heard anything of that site before, certainly not that length. but it was impeccable, even the bridesmaids and pageboy is fulfilled the role without a blemish. the interesting thing is that this couple really does offer the potential to reach audiences that might not instinctively identify with this traditional institution, the monarchy. they are keen to do that, particularly with a commonwealth element. they will be in australia

for the invictus games is in the autumn but tonight i imagine they are feeling very pleased and relieved that it all went so smoothly and successfully.” relieved that it all went so smoothly and successfully. i am sure they are, thank you very much indeed. now, with a round—up of the other day's news — over to kate silverton in the studio. thanks, fiona, yes, a brief look then at some of the day's other news stories. and in cuba, officials say they've retrieved the black box of the boeing 737, which crashed on take—off from havana airport yesterday, killing 110 people. three women, pulled alive from the wreckage, remain in critical condition. two days of national mourning have been declared. an alliance, led by the shia muslim cleric and former militia commander, moqtada as—sadr, has won iraq's parliamentary election. mr as—sadr fought the us—led invasion of iraq. he cannot himself become prime minister, as he never stood for election, but he says he hopes to shape a coalition that would rebuild iraq, after years of war. in the united states, several people remain critically ill after being wounded in a school

0ffside, said the linesman. paul pogba had a gilt—edged chance to level for united. goodness me... that shot summed up his whole contribution. so the day belonged to chelsea, their manager defiant. i'm a winner, i'm a serial winner, and, for sure, iwill continue to do this in the future. thanks to this man, chelsea's 13th fa cup final was certainly not an unlucky one, but for antonio conte, it could still be just the papering over of the cracks. natalie pirks, bbc news, at wembley. glasgow's east end saluting history makers. eat, sleep, treble repeat on the victory bus said it all. ladies and gentlemen, let's get ready to rumble! cheering earlier, with hype done, it was seconds out, and game on, but it was
