Royal Wedding

Like millions of people around the UK (and billions around the world) my family and I were glued to our television set to witness the royal marriage between Prince William (second in line to the British throne) and his commoner girlfriend Kate Middleton yesterday 29th of April.

Being a special holiday (no school and no work), we woke up late (and got up even later) yesterday, but still not missing much of the momentous event. We watched the coverage of BBC One channel and switched to BBC HD halfway towards the end.

The coverage prior to the wedding proved too much for our boys. The older one protested that it was boring to watch while the younger son just proceeded silently towards the computer to watch more exciting YouTube videos of his favourite game involving an ordinary plumber turned hero.
