James Blunt to play the organ for William & Kate
The musical selection to the Royal Wedding is slowly revealing itself.

At the same time, the Band of the Welsh Guards will perform a series of classical anthems as William and Kate are driven on a carriage along The Mall after the Westminster Abbey ceremony. Article: London Evening Standard
A Giant Campsite for the Royal Wedding
One of London’s most famous parks is being turned into a giant campsite for Prince William and Kate Middleton’s big day. Clapham Common in south London will be transformed into a sea of tents, union flags and bunting for three days, providing a base for 10,000 campers.
“Camp Royale” will provide the setting for loyal subjects to soak up the quintessentially British atmosphere, with events unfolding on a giant screen as they sip free Yorkshire Tea.
The pop-up campsite will run from Thursday April 28 – the day before the wedding – to Sunday May 1, at a price of £75 per person for the three nights.

The James Blunt story was a joke. He was just kidding. The wedding service is also on iTunes now. You can pre-order it! There’s a rotating banner on the front page.
