The service today was beautiful. They read from the Bible. They sang Christian hymns. You don’t see that on TV today much.

They also celebrated the military and military service in a very public manner, something you also don't see on TV much these days.

It's weird for me to watch all of this, but not weird for my wife and her sisters who grew up in Spain. As a matter of fact both my wife and oldest daughter are in England, and were a part of the massive crowds today. They started planning for the trip over there at Christmas.

I think we sometimes struggle with the historical aspects, because they were married in an Abbey that was founded nearly 1,000 years ago, and his family can be traded back well before that.. Here in the US, the closest thing we have to something that old is some pyramids near St. Louis that were built around 1,000 years ago by American Indians, and they are a fraction of the size they were back then and don't even resemble pyramids anymore.
