Guest List for Royal Wedding

TOWNSVILLE BULLETIN (AU): WHILE the Obamas, Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni and Sarah Ferguson will not be there, there will be places of honour for some interesting invitees.

Prince William, as an active member of a charity caring for the homeless, has set aside seats for homeless people from the greater London area.

He has also made seats available for soldiers injured during service in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Of course if you're the local publican, postie or butcher in the village of Bucklebury - the village where Prince William's soon-to-be wife Catherine Middleton's family live - you already have your invitations.

While thousands will attend the formal ceremony, only 600 chosen guests will attend a lunchtime buffet at Buckingham Palace.

The lunch extravaganza will be replete with champagne, canapes, and heavy hors d'oeuvres - including smoked salmon, pate, mini-sausage rolls - followed by petit[s] fours, mini-eclairs, trifle, and chocolate and lemon mousse.

An evening "event" will finish the day in a more intimate manner with 300 invited guests. » | Sue-Belinda Meehan | Monday, April 25, 2011
