From the heart of Windsor, Kirsty Young, Huw Edwards and Dermot O'Leary introduce full and uninterrupted live coverage of a day of national celebration - the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. In this modern global fairy tale, the bride and groom marry in the historic and intimate setting of St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, in front of a congregation which includes HM the Queen, senior members of the royal family, close friends, stars from the worlds of music, entertainment, and sport, together with representatives of the couple's charitable causes. Within the grounds of Windsor Castle, specially invited members of the public are hoping to catch a glimpse of the famous faces as they make their way into the chapel, and to be the first to see the bride's dress.
Following the wedding ceremony, the newlyweds begin their celebrations with a carriage procession around the streets of Windsor, accompanied by the soldiers from the Mounted Regiment of the Household Cavalry, where crowds of thousands are able to cheer them on. As this is one of the most eagerly anticipated royal events of the decade, millions of viewers watch worldwide. Tina Daheley, Alex Jones, Ore Oduba and Anita Rani are on hand to capture all the stories, reactions and celebrations on a day of pure happiness and joy.
