hour, we'll have the dress, the vowels, the kiss and much more. a special programme of highlights from yesterday's royal wedding. good morning, welcome to bbc news. the royal family have thanked those who travelled to windsor yesterday for the wedding of prince harry and meghan markle, and the hundreds of millions estimated to have watched on television around the world. last night, the couple, now known as the duke and duchess of sussex, attended an evening reception for 200 and family members in the grounds of windsor castle. the couple are not expected to leave for their honeymoon immediately, choosing instead to remain in the uk, before taking a break. this report is from andy moore. on a sublime summer's evening,
10:02 am
the royal couple left windsor castle for a night of partying with 200 guests at nearby frogmore house. meghan was now wearing a dress by stella mccartney, harry had changed out of his uniform into black tie. they drove through a now quiet windsor home park, past one last small group of well—wishers and into their future. unusually, perhaps, for a wedding, the bride had turned up precisely on time, and the crowds got their first view of a well kept secret, the dress. as meghan entered the church behind her, a pageboy‘s face summed up the sheerjoy of the occasion. prince charles accompanied the bride to the altar. "thank you, pa", said harry, and then to his bride, "you look amazing."
10:03 am
bishop michael curry gave the address in a style of preaching rarely seen in st george's chapel. there's power in love. there's power in love to help and heal when nothing else can. now the power of love is demonstrated by the fact that we are all here. two young people fell in love and we all showed up. meghan‘s mother was emotional, as the formal part of the ceremony reached its conclusion to the echo of cheers from outside. i therefore proclaim that they are husband and wife. distant cheering as they went off to witness the signing of the registrar, prince charles reached out to meghan‘s mother, she was the only member of her family there. finally, the newly—married couple emerged into the bright sunlight, "shall we kiss?", said meghan. "yes", said harry.
10:04 am
then they rode in an open—top carriage through the streets of windsor and down the long walk, a spectacle witnessed by tens of thousands first—hand and broadcast worldwide to hundreds of millions. andy moore, bbc news. joining me now from windsor is our royal correspondent, daniela relph. such a wonderful day, and then the party last night. we did not really see any of that. i think you saw the fireworks, didn't you 7 see any of that. i think you saw the fireworks, didn't you? tell us what you know about what happened at the big party last night. that's right, at about 11pm last night, over the castle we saw the most amazing firework display, which must have come from the evening reception in frogmore house. it gave us a little hint of the party going on behind
10:05 am
the castle walls. yesterday had been such a public day, and the wedding had been shared, as the couple had wanted, with so many people. but it was the evening reception that they wa nted was the evening reception that they wanted to keep very much to themselves, said he saw those picked chose, amazing pictures of them leaving in that e—type jaguar, leaving in that e—type jaguar, leaving windsor castle, driving through windsor great park, a drive of about one mile to frogmore house within the grounds of them is a great park, for that evening reception. they made it clear that they wanted to keep the evening reception, if possible, as private as possible. we know a view details, we know that the bride gave a speech. that is unusual in itself for a royal wedding, you would not normally have a bright giving a speech at the royal wedding. we know that there were 200 guests at the evening reception and they were the closest fa m ily evening reception and they were the closest family and friends. we also know that the new duchess of sussex was wearing a piece ofjewellery,
10:06 am
this emerald cut aquamarine ring, a gift to herfrom her new this emerald cut aquamarine ring, a gift to her from her new husband. this emerald cut aquamarine ring, a gift to herfrom her new husband. it had come from the collection of his mother, diana, and says of wales. that new ring, a gift from prince harry to his new wife from his mother's jewellery collection. in terms of trying to find out what might have gone at the evening reception, the little clues we have have come from some social media posts, particularly the celebrity guests invited to the evening. we saw a picture posted by serena williams in this amazing valentino dress in front of frogmore house. you get a sense of the glamour of that black—tie evening party, where so that black—tie evening party, where so many people attended. an actress friend of meghan markle, they have done a lot of charity work together. again, it is real hollywood glamour. that seems to have been the mood of the evening reception. finally,
10:07 am
jessica mulroney, one of the bright‘s closest friends. she was absolutely key to operation royal wedding. she helped with the planning, and her two sons, those images of them holding the train and the cheeky smile of one of them, holding the train as the duchess walked into st george's chapel ahead of her wedding yesterday. those at the moment are the only clues we have two the tone of the evening reception. we are hoping, over the course of the day, we find out more about what went on behind—the—scenes. about what went on behind-the-scenes. what will happen next? the couple are not immediately going on honeymoon. no, they stayed the night at windsor castle, and they are not going off straightaway. when they do go on honeymoon, we will not be told where it is. there will not be told where it is. there will not be any detail on that, but we do know that on tuesday they have got theirfirst we do know that on tuesday they have got their first public engagement as
10:08 am
a married couple. they will be at buckingham palace for a garden party thatis buckingham palace for a garden party that is being held to mark the 70th birthday of vince charles, so there isa birthday of vince charles, so there is a special garden party —— prince charles. we will see the new duke and duchess of sussex attending that on tuesday afternoon. thank you very much indeed. our royal correspondence at windsor. i have been reflecting on the royal wedding with two guests, talking about the couple and that wonderful day yesterday. the body chemistry from the start said it all, and what was so from the start said it all, and what was so lovely for me about this wedding was watching them at st george's all the pageantry and circumstance you would expect of a royal wedding, an international wedding, we look at that guest list, but for them at the altar, they were
10:09 am
in their own zone. it felt like they we re in their own zone. it felt like they were in their own moment, just the two of them. the long days, the fact that they held hands for the whole ceremony, it was very touching. i was there with the crowds in windsor, and it was electrifying, you know. the sun was out, it was wedding perfect weather. it was brilliant. windsor did it wonderfully. it did indeed. just looking at the pictures in the papers, the mail on sunday, as katie was alluding to, the kiss is busy the picture. the kiss is the picture, but for any photographer, the other picture, that is a photographer's picture. i was talking to my colleagues last night because i also work for the african and caribbean communities in britain, and how much they have engaged in all of this. it gives
10:10 am
them hope as well. over the past few weeks, we have been talking about nothing more than meghan markle amber valley is that she will be bringing to britain at the same time —— and the values. this photograph thatis —— and the values. this photograph that is a photographer's photograph. i would have been proud to take that. why specifically? because the kiss data growth is —— photograph is six seconds. the average photographer can take 30 images of that kiss. when charles and diana we re that kiss. when charles and diana were not married, it was a two second kiss. every photographer bar one missed it. so, the $2 of taking the kiss photograph is not as big as it used to be, —— kudos. that is a remarkable example of taking something very emotive, happy, and it is technically early on. what did
10:11 am
you make of the day? it felt intimate, almost like a family wedding. it did, and that feels incongruous, the idea of a royal wedding being intimate because, of course, royal weddings tend to be people's wedding. this was also called the people's wedding, there was the carriage element to it so they could go and see the public. if you were in windsor, you will have known how close you were to that carriage, it is a small town under huge pressure, but part of the charm was being able to be up close and personal with them. what was so lovely for the two of them was being able to enjoy an intimate ceremony, an intimate moment together after the altar, and it was different. we will have been told to expect some surprises, and my goodness, there we re surprises, and my goodness, there were surprises. the gospel choir. yes, the gospel choir, bishop curry, one of the unexpected stars of the
10:12 am
wedding. that sermon was incredible, the energy and passion, the power of love, we heard that expression so many times. the look on the faces of the royals in those front pews was priceless. but do you know what, it was a very clever way of weaving in meghan markle's story. her family we re meghan markle's story. her family were not there, apart from her mother. but her story was everywhere in that service, and it was clever, beautiful, very poignant. from a photographer's point of view, the fa ct photographer's point of view, the fact it was such a glorious day, and all the build—up to it was glorious weather, that light, does it help the photographer, or does it hinder? idid the photographer, or does it hinder? i did william and kate's wedding, i was there for three days. that was torture, have to say. these days,
10:13 am
modern cameras and equipment, it was much more planned, you could see at this time. that kiss was predictable. there was almost a ci’oss predictable. there was almost a cross on the ground where they had to stand. everybody could get that shocked because the pr department knew that was the shot that everybody wanted, i think. so yes, things like light, the actual ambience, and as you say, one of the most telling types of photographs we re most telling types of photographs were the faces of the royal family with the bishop. they were priceless. the look on their faces of some of them. i was watching the bbc yesterday. it shocked that so well because you could see them glancing around the crowds. david beckham was smiling, eltonjohn looked like he was about to have a coronary. you just wonder, they were probably wondering what was going
10:14 am
on. the word is bemused. but it was fantastic. it felt like it or fitted, and i loved it when they came out of the church, the amazing sound of that school choir. that was lovely. and it is good to have surprises. i tell you something, this was a wedding that william would never have been able to have. as he has moved down the line of succession, actually i think harry has realised there are benefits to being the spare. he can take some risks and have some fun, and there was a lot of fun day yesterday. just tell us about the dress. the dress was a triumph, and completely unexpected. givenchy did not come into the frame until the very end. it has been criticised for being too simple, but for me this adversity is the beauty. the way the light caught it, it was beautiful. quite mystical, these pictures. wonderful.
10:15 am
and there was a second ten point mike wrote —— kiss that the tv cameras missed. absolutely, by your newspaper today because he would not have seen out on the television. and the shots of them driving off in the e—type jaguar one billy maghreb are wonderful. the ultimate romantic. e—type jaguar one billy maghreb are wonderful. the ultimate romanticlj have wonderful. the ultimate romantic.” have to say, keyboard is a bit james bond. yes, 007, and her looking like a bond girl. that is the magical mix, that is why we are looking at these beautiful pictures and talking about it. hollywood royalty, a fabulous marriage, and that beautiful aquamarine ring of diana's that she was wearing so prominently, a beautiful tribute to diana, and there were many on the day. as a photographer at one of these events, you are quite wild, aren't you? —— tightly controlled. does it make it
10:16 am
difficult? you are used to those conditions. at kate's wedding i was ina conditions. at kate's wedding i was in a sanitised position which meant i had to be there for three days beforehand i had to be there for three days before hand because i had to be there for three days beforehand because once you are there, you cannot move. and then, when william and kate came out of the church, they got into the carriage and there was a surge of 10,000 people, and the police allowed 10,000 people into our sanitised position, and suddenly there were shots of us on a stepladder, swaying from side to side, trying to get the photographs. pressure can happen. it is a very pressurised thing. to get a shot like that, that is a highly rationalised thing to do, so i commend that photographer. whoever took that is a great photographer. there are pages and pages of coverage in the papers, of course, but ina coverage in the papers, of course, but in a way, it is an event that
10:17 am
just cheers everybody up. notjust the weather and the glamour and the romance, but people just want to read about it and look at the pictures, and just soak it up. well, there are not that many happy news stories, and there are not that many royal weddings. this is the last wedding for a generation, the next really big wedding will be one of the cambridge's children. princess eugenie bouchard micro—wedding will not be on this scale. this is huge. to have been in windsor, and i was there for a feud days leading up to it, the interest in this has been global. in america, canada, around the world. there was a huge amount of excitement about this, the bunting was out, the people were out, but had it been raining, the people would still have been there. yes, and of course the photographers caught charlotte poking her tongue out. uncle harry has been teaching her some tricks. there is a very similar shot of harry when he was
10:18 am
herage. similar shot of harry when he was her age. she is a show stealer, little princess charlotte. what a cutie. it was a great advert for britain, winds looking amazing. absolutely, i overheard some americans saying, no one does it better than britain, this is great! everyone has got their flags, but no one does it quite like us. at the time of brexit and all the economic doom and gloom, this was something brilliant. the palace had a tricky week, there was so much up in the airabout week, there was so much up in the air about who would walk down the aisle. it was brilliant in the end, it went to plan, and it looked beautiful. and do you think she will change the monarchy? people are talking about how she will modernised macro definitely, she will become the people's princess. she will take over the mantle of diana. she has that piece of magic.
10:19 am
she will bring together the african caribbean and asian amenities in britain which is important right now. i think she has that charm and elegance and boys, so does her mother. —— poise. iwatched an example of how kind her mother was, when charles extended his hand at the end, she gave him a double handshake. there is a lot of warmth in that woman. what a terrific lady. she wore her heart on her sleeve will stop my heart broke a bit for her, she was on her own, she did look alone. she calls meghan markle her flower, look alone. she calls meghan markle herflower, and look alone. she calls meghan markle her flower, and this was the girl she had given birth to, she had raised, who is marrying a prince, marrying into a new life, she is the duchess of sussex, life will never be the same for her again and that must be an emotional thing for her mother. but i think the future bodes well, she is a superstar. the duchess of cambridge is a superstar
10:20 am
as well, and the beauty of this fab four is we have got to couples now, and harry and meghan markle can be and harry and meghan markle can be an alternative royal couple. we know what to expect of william and kate and they do it brilliantly, there is and they do it brilliantly, there is a different role for meghan markle. and she seems so comfortable with the whole idea. a lot of people would end of the royalfamily the whole idea. a lot of people would end of the royal family with trepidation, but she seems to be ready for the role. absolutely, i am fascinated by her. the type of commitment that she is making to the royal family. she is going to bring, you only have to look at the bishop yesterday, i value you only have to look at the bishop yesterday, ivalue people you only have to look at the bishop yesterday, i value people like that will stop i have worked with the african caribbean communities in britain, and! african caribbean communities in britain, and i think they feel that she is so special. and that young people talk about her honour young black teenagers talk about her in a different way, and they see the royal family in a different way
10:21 am
because of her. and there were a lot of young people in the cloud yesterday, far more than in 2011. i don't know if that is a reflection of her or not, but there were a lot of her or not, but there were a lot of young people. this is a time where the monarchy needs to justify its existence, and these two are helping to make it look relevant, seem helping to make it look relevant, seem meaningful, and they are connecting and that is brilliant. that was katie nichols, the mail on sunday's royal correspondent. coming up sunday's royal correspondent. coming up in sunday's royal correspondent. coming upina sunday's royal correspondent. coming up in a few minutes at 10:30am, we will have a special programme looking at the highlights from the royal wedding yesterday. do stay tuned for that. the headlines on bbc news: the royal family thanks the public for supporting the wedding of prince harry and meghan markle, after thousands line the streets of windsor to see the newlyweds. survivors of terror attacks and relatives of victims sign an open letter calling on the public to help root out extremism. officials in cuba say 110 people
10:22 am
are now known to have died in a plane crash outside havana on friday. sport now, and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. there was another event yesterday, wasn't there? yes, not quite as full of razzmatazz as the royal wedding was in the end, but it was the fa cup final. antonio conte's future as chelsea's manager still in doubt, despite his side's victory against manchester united. the only goal came from the penalty spot. it was enough to wind the cup, and after the game, antonio conte spoke about his future at chelsea.”
10:23 am
don't think it changes my future. i don't think it changes my future. i don't think it changes my future. i don't think i win or a loss can change the future. it is right for the club to take the best decision, but i don't think the win today can change an assessment and an evaluation about my work. an eight fa cup for chelsea, and history was made in scotland yesterday when celtic beat motherwell at hampden park. that means brendan rodgers's side of the first scottish club to win all three domestic titles in successive seasons. | am win all three domestic titles in successive seasons. i am lucky to get the chance to manage the club. it isa get the chance to manage the club. it is a big thing, big thanks for choosing me to come in. you can only do your best and the last couple of seasons have been magical. i said to the players before the game, this is a chance for you to make your own history. we have had some brilliant
10:24 am
achievements, but like i say, to win today will live you that the macro with you for ever. former england manager casey stoney is set to become the manager of manchester united's women's team. chiswick specter to be given a licence to play at the start of next season. she is currently assistant manager to phil neville. it is the final day of the women's superleague season today all games set kicking off at 12:30pm. british moto gp rider cal crutchlow will be on the grid for today's french grand prix, despite a crash in qualifying yesterday. this is the view from on—board his bike. he was flung from his lcr honda, landing awkwardly on his. medical assistance was quick to arrive and he gave the
10:25 am
crowd a thumbs up before being placed in the back of an ambulance. crutchlow is currently seventh in the world championship and will race today. there was a british one dash to in the hardest stage of the tour de france. chris froome is up to fifth overall. yates extended his lead to almost 1.5 minutes. champions exited teeth will defend their title against saracens in the premiership final. —— exeter chiefs. saracens beat wasps in their semifinal. and scarlett will face leinster in the final of the pro 1a after european champions narrowly beat munster in dublin. leinster took an early lead. munster fought back as only one point separated the two.
10:26 am
in boxing, josh warrington is the new ibf world featherweight champion after upsetting the odds to beat lee selby. warrington was fighting in front of his home crowd and he dominated in the early exchanges. the fight went the full 12 rounds. warrington picked up the victory on a split decision. meanwhile, nicola adams returned to action after some time away from the sport with a convincing win over her opponent. and that is all be bought for now. survivors of terror attacks and relatives of those killed have signed an open letter, calling on the public to do more to catch those responsible. the widow of fusilier lee rigby and the brother of a man killed in last year's manchester arena attack are among those who've signed the letter. james waterhouse reports. the timing of this letter is certainly poignant, not only is it a year since young ariana grande fans were so brutally
10:27 am
targeted in manchester, in an attack the singer recently described as the worst of humanity, it's also five years since lee rigby was murdered as he made his way back to wollwich barracks. it reads: the signatories, including the brother of one of the manchester victims, say it is this hatred the signatories, including the brother of one of the manchester victims, say it is this hatred we must take on and defeat. we strongly believe that it is well within the power of ordinary people to have a positive effect on how we handle these things. it really is about reaching out to people who, although they haven't been directly affected, can definitely help us. this appeal is signed by dozens of people affected by attacks, including those in paris at the bataclan, the brussels bombing, and bali. it calls for focus on honouring the memories of those being killed
10:28 am
and not mentioning the names of the killers. there are practical points — to come forward if you know something or suspect a plot, but the core message is simple. to take on hatred wherever you find it. james waterhouse, bbc news. the family of the 17—year—old boy accused of killing 10 people in a shooting at a high school in texas, have said they are shocked and confused at what has happened. relatives of dimitrios pagourtzis offered their condolences to the victims and their families. the teenager is facing capital murder charges. authorities have now said that two supply teachers and eight students were killed at the school in santa fe. the times of every train service provided by four major operators in and around london will change today. the operator says it will deliver improved services with greater passenger capacity, but not everyone agrees. here's our transport correspondent, victoria fritz. from today, arrival and departure times will change on every train run by great northern, thameslink, southern and the gatwick express. it will also have a knock—on effect on southeastern trains.
10:29 am
together, these operations run more than a quarter of all railjourneys in the uk. this is what is part of what was once known as thameslink 2000. it's a few years late. more trains, more seats and more destinations at a cost so far of £7 billion. they have had years to prepare, but are they ready? it is going to be ok. i am not saying there won't be a few bumps, there will, but we are here for the next two weeks, which means longer hours for me, to make sure the transition is as smooth as possible. this is the reality of train travel for many. capacity has become such an issue that for the first time, passenger numbers in the south—east are beginning to fall. thameslink has promised space for an extra 50,000 passengers travelling in and out of london at peak times, but not everyone will be a winner, some services will be deliberately slowed down, whilst other passengers may find that their regular stopping service just whizzes straight on through. it is in part to accommodate these new trains coming online
10:30 am
on the service, new infrastructure means trains can run closer together through central london. but the upgrade won't be complete until 2020. the first big test will come tomorrow on the monday morning commute, passengers are being asked to check the new times before they embark on theirjourney. victoria fritz, bbc news. now the weather with darren. a warm day. bringing some rain and drizzle that is mostly wind easing here light winds for england and wales.
