the key moments. on a day which could scarcely have been better, an american bride came to windsor castle for a very british occasion. in sparkling sunshine, huge crowds lining the long walk watched and cheered as the motorcade brought meghan markle to her wedding. in the car, meghan and her mother, doria ragland. within the castle grounds, the groom, harry, and best man william, dressed in the frockcoat uniforms of their former regiment, the blues and royals, had walked down to st george's chapel. the queen arrived with the duke of edinburgh. his first formal appearance 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. i, harry, take you, meghan, to be my wife. to have and to hold.

from this day forward. for better, for worse. for richer, for poorer. in sickness and in health. to love and to cherish. till death us do part. i, meghan, take you, harry. to be my husband. to have and to hold. from this day foward. —— forward. for better, for worse. for richer, for poorer. in sickness, and in health. to love and to cherish.

till death us do part. rings were exchanged, and the archbishop of canterbury made the proclamation all those watching had been waiting for. i, therefore, proclaim that they are husband and wife. the cheers of the crowd outside could be heard in the chapel. a gospel choir sang. # so, darling, darling #stand...by me...# and an american preacher talked about love. love can be sacrificial. and in so doing becomes redemptive. and that way of unselfish, sacrificial, redemptive love changes lives. and it can change this world. among the congregation was a sprinkling of celebrities

from both sides of the atlantic. but, like any wedding, the day belonged to the husband and wife at the centre of it. in this case, the couple who will now be known as their royal highnesses the duke and duchess of sussex. the titles have been bestowed by the queen. the duke escorted his duchess out of the chapel. on the steps, lined by members of the household cavalry, they paused for a kiss. and then to their waiting carriage and the procession through the centre of windsor. they were escorted by the lifeguards and the blues and royals, squeezing their way through the narrow streets in the centre of town. most people had been directed down to the long walk, where they had been waiting in the sunshine.

it was a chance for the public to feel part of a royal wedding that had broken new ground. from harry and meghan and their preacher in the chapel, to the crowds outside, there had been a sense of intensity in the feelings expressed and a degree of informality in the way it had been done. tonight, harry and meghan, the duke and duchess of sussex, left the castle in an e type jaguar for a private reception being hosted by the prince of wales. together they undoubtedly have the potential to connect the royal family to new audiences but, for now, they will surely be content that they had the wedding day that they wanted. nicholas witchell, bbc news, windsor. hundreds of millions of people around the world watched the wedding if my twitter feed was anything to go by — from lagos to la, the home city of the new duchess. our 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 & 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. it was a modern, diverse service for a modern diverse couple. a highlight was the sermon by bishop michael curry from chicago who spoke passionately, in the african american preaching tradition, about the power of love, quoting dr martin luther king junior. 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 packenham, where the crowds enthusiasticallyjoined in. this was a wedding with a difference. look how many people are here today. look how the people are smiling. i think everybody has been waiting for a moment like this for so long. i cannot believe it. in terms of i have seen other weddings on the television, but this one was absolutely different. harry is a bad boy, do

you know what they mean? for him to like, shake up the establishment and bring it into the current century is amazing. the party atmosphere in this pub in peckham is pumping. the drinks are flowing and people are enjoying the food and music and there will be many more toasts to the new duke and duchess of sussex. it was the charismatic american bishop who stole the show. let us love one another. because love is god, and those who do not love do not know god. and it is no surprise that the chicago—born preacher was soon inundated with media requests. it is palpable. their love and relationship you can see. they smile and they giggled once in a while. i have a feeling that they will have an impact long after i have flown back to the united states. they will have an impact through their lives. and also making his mark was 19—year—old cellist sheku kanneh—mason.
