and 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 friends 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. our royal correspondent daniela relph is in windsor. 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 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 wanted to keep very much to themselves, said we saw those pictures, amazing pictures of them 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 windsor 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 bride giving a speech at the royal wedding. we know that there were 200 guests at the evening reception, and they were the closest family and friends. we also know that the

new duchess of sussex was wearing a piece of jewellery, this emerald cut aquamarine ring, a gift to herfrom her new husband. it had come from the collection of his mother, diana, princess 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 many people attended. priyanka chopra, an actress friend of meghan,

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, jessica mulroney, one of the bright‘s closest friends. she was absolutely key to the 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 to 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. 0k, what will happen next? the couple 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

any detail on that, but we do know that on tuesday they have got their first public engagement as a married couple. they will be at buckingham palace for a garden party that is being held to mark the 70th birthday of prince charles, so there is a special garden party. we will see the new duke and duchess of sussex attending that on tuesday afternoon. earlier, i spoke to the mail on sunday's royal correspondent katie nicholls and the royal photographer ian pelham turner, about the royal couple and their wedding. the body chemistry from the start said it all. what was so lovely for me about this wedding was watching them at st george's chapel, all the pomp and pageantry and circumstance you would expect of a royal wedding, just look at that guest list, but for them at the altar,

they were in their own zone, it felt like they were in their own moment, just the two of them. the long gazes, the fact that they held hands for the whole ceremony, it was very touching. i was there in windsor with the crowds, and it was electrifying. the sun was out, it was wedding perfect weather. it was brilliant. windsor did it wonderfully. indeed. just looking at the pictures in the newspapers, the mail on sunday, as katie was alluding to, the kiss is the picture. the kiss is the picture, but for any photographer, the other picture, the one that is on the front page, that is a photographer's picture, you know? 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 them hope as well, over the past few weeks we have been talking about nothing more than meghan markle and what she will be bringing, and the values she will be bringing to britain. i would have been proud to have taken that photograph. why specifically? well, the average photographer can take five frames a second, so he gets 30 images of that kiss. when diana and charles got married, it was a two second kiss. every famous photographer these days missed it — except for one. the kudos of taking the kiss photograph is not as big as it used to be. but that, i think, is a remarkable example of taking something that is really emotive, happy, and it is technically brilliant.

it felt intimate, almost like a family wedding. it did, and that is almost incongruous, the idea of a royal wedding being intimate. of course, royal weddings tend to be people's weddings. there was the carriage element, so that 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. but part of the charm was being able to be up close and personal, and that was important to the couple from the outset. but what was so lovely for the two of them was being able to enjoy an intimate ceremony, an intimate moment at the altar. we had been told to expect some surprises, and my goodness, there were some! the pastor, gospel choir. yes, and bishop curry. one of the unexpected

stars of the wedding. his sermon was incredible, the energy, the passion, the power of love, we heard that expression so many times. the looks on the faces of the royals at times was priceless. the unexpectedness of that sermon. it was a very clever way of weaving in meghan markle‘s story. apart from her mother, her family was not there. it was clever and beautiful and poignant. for a photographer, the fact it was such a glorious day, that light, does that help the photographer? or does that sometimes hinder? i did william and kate's wedding. i was there for three days. that was torture. i think these days, modern cameras and equipment,

it was much more planned. you could see at this time. that kiss was predictable. there was almost a cross on the ground where they had to stand. and so everybody could get that shot. the pr departments knew that was the shot that everybody wanted. so things like light, things like the actual ambience, and as you say, one of the most telling types of photographs were the faces of the royal family with bishop curry. it was priceless. the look on their faces! i was watching the bbc yesterday, it shot 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. they were probably wondering what was going on.

it was fabulous. it was fantastic, and it did look like it fitted. i loved when they came out of the church, the amazing sound of that gospel choir. that was lovely. and it is good to have surprises, otherwise it is so predictable. they wanted there to be surprises. this was a wedding that william would never have been able to have. as he has moved down the line of succession, harry has realised there are real benefits to being the second. he can take some risks, he can 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. the way the light hit the veil, it was beautiful. just looking at these pictures, wonderful.

and there was a second kiss, which all the tv cameras missed. absolutely, buy your newspapers today because he would not have seen that on the television. and the shots of them driving off in the e—type jaguar, they were wonderful, the evening light, the ultimate romantic... i have to say, it was a bitjames bond to me. the bowtie, her looking like a bond girl. a magical mix, that is why we are all here talking about it, and looking at these beautiful pictures. hollywood royalty, a fabulous marriage, so much glamour. and that beautiful aquamarine ring of diana's that she wore so prominently, a beautiful tribute to princess diana. this is tightly controlled, but does that make it difficult? you cannot move around,

those are the conditions you must be used to working in. you are used to it. for william and kate's wedding, i could not move for three days. they got out of the church, into the carriage, and there was a surge of 10,000 people, and the police allowed in 10,000 people to our sanitised position. there were shots of us on a stepladder, pressure can happen at times like this, it is a very pressurised thing. to get a shot like that, that is highly pressurised, so i commend that photographer. there are pages and pages of coverage, but it is an event thatjust cheers everybody up. notjust the good weather and the glamour and the romance,

it is something that people want to read about 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 royal wedding for a generation. the next big wedding will be one of the cambridges' children. princess eugenie‘s wedding will not be on this scale. the interest in this has been global. in america especially, of course. around the world it has been huge. there was a huge amount of excitement about this. the bunting was out, the people were out, the weather helped, but had it been raining, they would still have been there. absolutely, and of course, the photographers caught charlotte picking her tongue out. uncle harry has been teaching her some tricks! there is a similar shot of harry when he was her age.

she is a bit of a show stealer, princess charlotte. it was a great advert for britain, those pictures going around the world of windsor looking amazing. absolutely. i heard some americans yesterday saying nobody does it better than britain. they had emptied out all the memorabilia from the shops, but no—one does it quite like us. at the time of brexit, all the economic doom and gloom, this was something brilliant. the palace had a tricky week, there was so much of the media about who would walk down the aisle. it was brilliant in the end, it went to plan, and it looked beautiful. do you think she will change the monarchy? people are talking about how

she will organise... definitely. i think she will become the people's princess. i think she will take over the mantle of diana. she has that piece of magic. she will bring together the african—caribbean and asian communities in britain, which is so important right now. i think she has that charm, the elegance, the poise, as does her mother. i was so impressed by her mother yesterday. i watched one example of how kind her mother is, when charles extended her hand to her yesterday, she gave him a double handshake. she really was a terrific lady yesterday. she wore her heart on her sleeve yesterday. she calls meghan her flower. this is the girl she raised, life will never be the same for her again, and that must be emotional for her mother. she is a superstar. the duchess of cambridge is a superstar as well.

the beauty of this fab four, as they have been called, is we have got two couples now. harry and meghan can be an alternative royal couple. william and kate do it brilliant, and nobody is putting them down, but meghan is a superstar. and she does seem so comfortable. many people would enter the royal family with enormous trepidation, but she seems ready for the role. i am fascinated by her. the type of commitment that she is making to the royal family, she is going to bring, you have only got to look at the bishop yesterday as a prime example, i value people like that. i work with the african—caribbean community in britain, and i think they feel that she is so special, and that young people talk about her, young black teenagers talk about her in a different way. they see the royal family today in a different way.

and there were a lot of young people in those crowds yesterday, that was one of the things i noticed. far more young people than in 2011. i don't know if that is a reflection of her or not, but this is a time where the monarchy needs to justify its existence, and these two are helping it may look relevant, seem meaningful, and they are connecting, and that is brilliant. and at 2:30 we'll have a special programme looking back at the highlights from yesterday's royal wedding here on bbc news. 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. a major overhaul of train timetables begins today, affecting half a million passengers,

but unions warn the changes will hit disabled users. survivors of terror attacks and relatives of victims sign an open letter calling on the public to help root out extremism. all the latest sport now with kat, will be chelsea manager be staying? is future is still in doubt, despite that victory against manchester city in the fa cup final yesterday. the only goal of game came from the penalty spot, united defender philjones fouling chelsea's eden hazard. he stepped up to score the resulting spot kick. and that was enough to win the cup. after the game conte spoke about his future at the club. i don't think it changes my future. i don't think a 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. history was made in scottish football yesterday. celtic beat motherwell in the scottish cup final hampden park, and it means brendan rodgers's side are the first scottish club to win all three domestic titles in successive seasons, the so—called "double treble". i am lucky to get the chance to manage the club. it is a big thing, big thanks to board 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 achievements, but like i say, to win today will live with you forever. former england captain casey stoney

is set to become the manager of manchester united's women's team. united are expected to be given a licence to play in the restructured women's super league 2 at the start of the next season. stoney is currently assistant manager to england boss phil neville and is likely to stay in that role. it's the final day of the women's super league season today. all the games are kicking off at 12:30. the pick of the fixtures includes champions chelsea facing liverpool, while birmingham city, who need to avoid defeat to secure european football next season, take on reading who are a point behind them. british motogp rider cal crutchlow will be on the grid for today's french grand prix despite a heavy crash in qualifying yesterday. the british rider spent saturday night in hospital in le mans, his lcr honda team saying he avoided "serious injury" after he was stretchered away from the circuit. he was dicharged from hospital this morning and was passed fit. stage 15 of cycling's

giro d'italia is under way, with britain's simon yates leading the race. but team sky boss sir dave brailsford says chris froome can still win despite being three minutes off the pace. the british four—time tour de france winner had a difficult first two weeks but won a first giro stage yesterday. brailsford says froome‘s experience of riding grand tours will help him in the closing stages. the thing about these three—week races is fatigue built up, like the first week, the second week, then the residualfatigue first week, the second week, then the residual fatigue really starts to play a key part. one of the reasons we see the key guys good at this come to the top, rise to the top, is they have this incredible ability to recover, and they are really resilient. with that in mind, absolutely, you have to believe that we are here to try and win the race, use that belief, absolutely going

out to have the belief to do it. josh warrington is the new ibf world featherweight champion after upsetting the odds to beat lee selby at leeds united's elland road. warrington, fighting in front of his home crowd, dominated in the early exchanges, with selby cut after an accidental clash of heads. the fight went the full 12 rounds, warrington picking up the victory on a split decision. you can see how much that meant to him. on the undercard, double olympic champion nicola adams returned to action after some time away from the sport with a convincing win over soledad del valle frias. that's all the sport for now, i'll have more in the next hour. a rail timetable overhaul, billed as the biggest in the uk, has begun. govia thameslink is rescheduling every train in its franchise, which includes southern, thameslink and great northern services. but passengers in a number of smaller locations complain they will be served with fewer or slower services. 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. 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've had years to prepare, but are they ready? it is going to be ok. i am not saying we won't have a few bumps, we will, but we are here for the next two weeks, 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. govia 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 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. 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 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 woolwich barracks. it reads... 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 the honouring the memories of those being killed 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. more than 100 of them, in the island's worst air disaster since the 1980s. now an important breakthrough. the cuban government confirmed it had recovered one of the black box recorders from the wreckage, and potentially vital information as to what caused the plane to come down so soon after take—off. translation: we already have the black box in our possession, and we are searching for the other black box. the grief and confusion extends beyond cuba too. 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. the 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. will grant, bbc news. more residents have been rescued from their homes in hawaii as molten lava continues to pour from the ground following the eruption of the kilauea volcano. the latest explosion sent an ash cloud 3,000 metres into the air. our correspondent chris buckler has the latest from hawaii. people are being prevented

from getting anywhere close to the area where there are fissures. those are volcanic vents, and they create cracks in the ground, and they are getting ever bigger, and lava is shooting out from them. our correspondent chris buckler has the latest from hawaii. last night we saw fountains of lava from those vents. the national guard are preventing people from going into those areas. that means that people have been moved out of their homes, and that has caused all sorts of difficulties. across the road from here, you can see that there is a centre that has been set up. in there, people have got clothes, they are being given food,
