Tents, tears and tiaras in Hyde Park London

Crowds gathered around giant screens erected in Hyde Park last Friday to watch the live broadcast of the ‘fairytale wedding’. Over 80,000 people, most sporting Union Jacks, watched the live broadcast of the Royal Wedding while champagne was served from makeshift bars.

The royals mingle with the 'commoners'

It is not often you’ll get to see Will, Catherine and the Queen gulping down beer!

With so many brides available William had to pick Catherine!

Hyde Park, as well as many other parts of London and even the rest of the UK offered the finest selection of brides.

The big screen for the 'common' people at Hyde Park

Well-wishers watch Will and Catherine on the giant screens in Hyde Park – this is the bit where the royals come out onto that famous balcony of the Buckingham Palace and the newlyweds share a public kiss – or two as in Will and Catherine's case.

Monarchy mania – a toast to The Royal Wedding!

Royal supporters toast to the big wedding, except for the dude picking up everyone's trash!

Shocking news!

In shock! William and Catherine got married just after 11am, kissed on the balcony at 1.30pm and papers had it printed and distributed by 4pm. How the FFFFF?

If you can't get William, why not go for Harry?

Making a statement: the wedding provided a source of inspiration for many young women.

Lost in a time warp - a few dudes got the centuries mixed up!

Members of the public go all out in fancy dress for the Royal Wedding.

That's how the 'common' people party!

Hyde Park was packed with people of all ages enjoying the festivities.

Royally trashed!

Good lord, imagine the cleanup!

Royally pissed…

The royal black out.
