Looking back on another dazzling day, what’s to especially remember asks royal correspondent Shirley Tart.

First of all that when we do a pageant, we do it supremely well.

That the bride in the Sarah Burton designed gown and the royal tiara was just breathtaking.

That despite heightened terror scares, our police and security people are fantastic.

That the Abbey service itself was a reminder of the strength found in a Christian marriage and that the couple had written their own special prayer to be included.

Like Harry spotting the bride first and with an admiring grin nudged his brother who turned as she drew alongside him and whispered ‘you look beautiful.’

All of that and so very much more.

Like the three different people who just hours after the ceremony rang me to ask whether there was anything brewing between Harry and the new Duchess’s sister, Pippa.

Oh for goodness sake, they only walked out arm in arm as is the tradition and as if I’d know anyway. But we’ll watch that space!

Shropshire’s Lord Lieutenant Algy Heber-Percy also rang to record how very much he’d enjoyed the ceremony invitations to the lieutenants were only for one so his wife Jane watched the television coverage with their daughter then they met up for a celebration lunch.

“I thought the music was particularly lovely, they are a very genuine couple which shows through and what both the Archbishop and the Bishop of London had to say, was most appropriate,” he said.

While another Lord Lieutenant, Shan Legge-Bourke from Powys, had a very special reason for pride and pleasure in the day.

As well as representing the Queen in her county and being a lady-in-waiting to the Princess Royal, she is also mother to Tiggy, one time nanny to the little Princes and who’s own son Tom Pettifer aged eight, was one of the enchanting little pages.

While outside the Abbey it’s reckoned a million people gathered to join in the delight as a new bride not only now has a husband but a life which must be equally committed to royal service. And as she said last night after the big party: “We’ve had a great day.”

And hopefully, a great life to come.
