More than 1000 members of the public have been invited to the grounds of Windsor Castle to watch the arrival and departure of the bride and groom.

Mr Guy Clark said: “Councillor Moran was incredibly supportive when I arranged for Her Majesty the Queen to come to Greenock in 2012.
“I was delighted she accepted my invitation to come as part of her Diamond Jubilee celebrations and the effort Inverclyde Council and Councillor Moran put in to ensure it was a success was remarkable.
“Her Majesty told me how delighted she and the Duke of Edinburgh were to see Greenock in all its splendour on the day.
“This is my way of saying thank you to him.”
