streets of windsor the weekend home of queen elizabeth. after a formal reception they launched into a private party with some two hundred select guests within the grounds of windsor castle. while our correspondent garrick montanus is ad windsor castle and he joins us now for more on the royal wedding so a garret i think everyone is in agreement that this was a royal wedding like no other so what stood out for you personally. i'd say the elements that stood out for me were really the unconventional elements of that ceremony in in the church in windsor castle i mean the fact that the magen walked down watered down herself worked herself down the aisle for for quite a bit it was remarkable and then of course if you look at the pictures coming from that the church of so many people with a mixed race background to shop at kerry gave giving such a

a viper speech to put it mildly that raised a couple five pounds and there was speculations already today and in the british press to put on the best poker face from the royal family all these were elements that people told me how them two relates to that couple pay for a modern touch and that is something that is very important for british people here well absolutely and it seems like by welcoming someone like megan markel herself a biracial she's an actress she's from the u.s. she's even divorced is this a symbol of a new kind of openness within the british monarchy itself without doubt and i think there's some intent behind that as well the royals know of course very well that if they want to remain in the future any time that the queen which daryn there will be questions are asked about this institution's not only in the u.k.

but also in other commonwealth states where she is still the head of state and so the royals are reaching out to particularly the young audience the future of the monarchy not only in the u.k. but throughout the commonwealth and i think that that wedding was although it wasn't enough official state wedding that was one step in that direction. i guess so after the wedding ceremony there was a formal reception hosted by the queen and then later in the evening there was this more intimate evening event are there any details about that. paul a couple of details have emerged of course apart from the fact you know that they took off in this fancy vintage car with an electric engine by the way so it's been converted so it's then of course the spectacular dress what we've heard is that elton john was singing at this black tie event in the evening also we did march that make and market actually gave her speech on that event and not at the

reception inside windsor castle and of course at the end there were beautiful fireworks lighting up the sky over from morehouse which is just a couple of hundred meters away from where i stand so if you want to sparkling finished with a very special day all right atlantis recording for us from windsor castle thank you. well turning now to venezuela where president nicolas maduro is expected to win a second term in office when the country goes to the polls later today during his victory is seen as almost certain even though the oil rich country has descended into economic turmoil under his socialist government inflation has reached an all time high of more than thirteen thousand percent and there are fears it could get even worse after the election. they're not even waiting for the election results thousands of venezuelans have already packed their bags and are making their rags
