since his hip replacement operation six weeks ago. at precisely midday, the bride's limousine arrived at the chapel‘s great west door. for the first time, there was a clear sight of the wedding dress, the work of the british designer clare waight keller. there was a tiara, a veil into which had been woven emblems from every commonwealth country, and a long train. at the altar, a groom looking a little anxious, and the bride's mother. what, one wonders, were her emotions today? at the great west door, the bride was ready. it was a moment to make a page boy, and many others, gasp. soloist sings. she walked the first part of the procession accompanied

by her young attendants, the page boys and bridesmaids, among whom were prince george and princess charlotte. and then, at the halfway point, she was joined by prince charles, taking the role which should have been that of the bride's father, and escorting her to the high altar, where harry was waiting. "thank you, pa," said harry. at that moment, it became all about the two people standing at the altar. the archbishop of canterbury led the couple in their marriage vows. "you look amazing," said harry, before lifting her veil. the archbishop of canterbury led the couple in their marriage vows. i, harry, take you, meghan to be my wife.

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. it was definitely american

and it was beautiful because it was encouraging, it was inspiring and i know someone in their food 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 an entrance and surprise. james cook, bbc news, los angeles. let's get some other news now. one of the flight data recorders has been recovered from the wreckage of the cuban passenger plane that crashed near the capital, havana. officials says the number of dead has risen to one hundred and ten. the boeing 737 was on a domestic flight to the eastern city of holguin when it crashed shortly after take off at havana airport. will grant reports. cuba is in mourning.

box, in our possession and in good condition and we are searching for the other black box. the grief and confusion extends beyond cuba. the plane was owned by a mexican company, and families of the mexican crew and passengers gathered in vain for more information. translation: they do not have any data right now. they are just like us. waiting for more information about what happened. earlier, the cuban president, miguel diaz—canel, had visited the crash site, and promised a full investigation. for now, though, the emphasis is on supporting the victims‘ families and praying that the survivors, just three of them out of 110 people, pull through. cuba has experienced air disasters in the past, but none this bad for decades. questions are already being raised about the reliability of the rest of its air fleet, much of which dates to the soviet era. for a new president who only recently took over power from raul castro, this represents his first real test as leader.

with the world's eyes fixed on the uk on saturday, the weather certainly came up trumps. you and i know it is not always like this. but through this coming week, there will be more warmth and sunshine to enjoy but a few exceptions. those exceptions will be mainly today across parts of scotland and northern ireland. the weather front edging in, bringing breezy and cloudy conditions and occasional rain. with high pressure in the south and east, we go into the morning dry and for many, clear once again. there will be mist and low cloud in east anglia and the south—east. here, the coolest of the weather. three or four degrees in the countryside to start the day. the mist and low cloud in the south—east will break up and burn back to the coast through the day but we will stick with the cloud across western scotland and northern ireland, particularly with outbreaks of rain. sunshine a bit hazy across northern and western areas. for the south, blue skies away from the coast.

there could be some patches of mist and sea fog through the english channel. inland, light winds, could be a degree warmer than it was on saturday. as i said, sunshine a bit hazier further north and breezy. still pleasant in eastern scotland, only the small threat of a shower, 21 the high in the murray firth. northern ireland and western scotland, including the northern isles, always that bit cloudier, occasional rain but there will be dry weather, too. these areas into sunday night will turn wetter and the rain becomes heavier and more persistent but we will see skies clear through eastern scotland and down through much of england and wales with the risk of some mist and sea fog around the coast. temperatures by night not dropping as much as they have done recently. one good news for the gardeners. the bad news is high pressure will still dominate through the start of the week so not much in the way of wet weather. plenty of watering of plants to be done. the wettest weather on monday

confined to scotland and northern ireland. heavy, persistent rain to start the day but with that high pressure building from the east, it will nudge off westwards. so many of you, including eastern parts of northern ireland and much of scotland by the end of monday, dry, sunny and warm again. an outside chance across southern counties of england of a small thunderstorm or heavy shower. same too on tuesday. most will be dry. a bit more cloud on tuesday through scotland and northern ireland but not much in the way of rain. the only thing is, it may take us into slightly cooler air in the far north of scotland, whereas further south, we stick with temperatures in the high—teens and low to mid—20s. indeed through the coming week with high pressure generally dominant, ok, there's a small risk of one or two showers in the south but most places will stay dry with some warmth as well. bye for now. this is bbc news.
