I like the trumpets announcing the Queen’s entrance.

[Explorer89]

Loved the trumpets for the queen.

HER ROYAL MAJESTY LOOKS ABSOLUTELY LOVELY!!!

[stylecouncilor]

oooooh the dress has a train!

[ELS]

The glimpse of the dress looks lovely.

[StarFan]

Looks like a pale grey coat with a pale yellow dress but it could be champagne. I distinctly read no white, off white or cream today so I doubt she would defy the Queen.

Is it me or does the Queen appears older than 83? My Mom is 83 and there's no comparison. The beautiful Angela Kelly outfit looks stunning on her.

Kate getting in the car now so I'm flying off to glue myself to the TV.

So happy Kate chose a gown with long sleeves. Maybe it will usher in a new era for wedding gowns where brides will be a little more demure.

[maggief]

The Queen looks wonderful.

Here comes the bride! :)

[NautiNurse]

LOL—Kate’s father looks rather nervous as he gets settled into the car. Kate looks lovely with her delicate veil and lace.

[SueRae]

Countess Rae Frodo of Highland...good Grief ;-)

OMG - they had to say she used to be called her *weighty Katie*

SHUT-UP!

[mware]

I must say they got style.

Thank goodness, Mrs Obama is not there mucking up the whole thing with her sleeveless,big bowed outfits.

[Explorer89]

Which tiara???

[NautiNurse]

Beautiful lace!

[LibFreeOrDie]

Looks like a lace overbodice with long sleeves.

Check out this funny picture and also look at the picture at post #277.

It was ‘Waity Katy’ because she waited for years for William to propose.

[MayflowerMadam]

“does the Queen appears older than 83?”

She’s 85.
