Royal Wedding: Route & guest list

HERE The Sun gives you the lowdown on Friday’s Royal Wedding at Westminster Abbey, detailing exactly how Prince William and Kate Middleton’s big day will pan out.

Check out our interactive map of the route the happy couple will take to the Abbey before heading to Buckingham Palace, which is hosting two receptions.

Our interactive ceremony guide will take you through how the service will unfold.

We have also had a sneak peek at the wedding guest lists, below, which include Posh and Becks, the Sultan of Brunei and the Middletons’ postman, Ryan Naylor.

On Friday morning, Kate will wake up in the five-room royal suite at London’s Goring Hotel.

As she prepares to put on her dress and a team of stylists put the finishing touches to her hair and make-up, the first guests are due to arrive at the Abbey.

They are expected to turn up from 8.30am via the North Door.

At 10.10am Prince William and Prince Harry will leave Clarence House for Westminster Abbey, arriving at 10.15am.

At 10.45am the royals are expected to arrive by the Great West Door at the front of the Abbey. The Queen and Prince Philip will be the last to arrive before Kate and her bridesmaids appear.

There will be no ushers. The traditional role of showing guests to their seats and greeting the bride on her arrival will be performed by the historic Yeomen of the Guard.

Known as the monarch’s bodyguard, the Yeomen are the oldest British military corps still in existence and date back to Henry VII in 1485 at the Battle of Bosworth Field.

But while the pomp and ceremony will fill the Abbey, Kate’s arrival will be modest by royal standards.

Instead of travelling in a gold, horse-drawn coach, she has chosen to travel in a Fifties Rolls-Royce. She and her father will be the last to arrive at the Abbey.

They will leave their hotel at 10.51am and head down past Buckingham Palace, along The Mall and turn right at Trafalgar Square into Whitehall.

Flanked by police on all sides, they will then head into Parliament Square and turn right towards the front of Westminster Abbey.
