I wouldn’t be surprised if he does, in fact I will be a tad disappointed if he doesn’t...

The source of the information was The Times front page that was tweeted on #tomorrowspapertoday. If the mods think this information should wait, please delete.

Okay, but all I see is the front page. What am I missing?

I enjoyed the interview with Archbishop Welby and Bishop Curry, although neither of them really gave away much.

On the other hand, I was a bit surprised that Bishop Curry has never met Harry and Meghan, and clearly Archbishop Welby knows them very well, as you would expect. It just made me wonder a bit about how generic the homily will be tomorrow. I'm sure it will be a great sermon, just not sure how personal it will be.

Read the article. It says Prince Charles helped with the music selection, but not Stand by Me to be sung by the choir.

Windsor was just beautiful today. Seeing Harry, Meghan, William and Doria so happy just added something beyond special to the atmosphere.

There is supposed to be an embargo until midnight on this (just finished listening to Pod Save The Queen)



Do we know the Etta James song and who is singing it - got to be At Last really

I'm only seeing the first page. Oh well, all will be revealed on the morrow.

That sounds too imitative of the first Obama inauguration. Meghan will want nothing to sound remind people of some other event, I have realized. And AFAIK, Beyoncé has not been invited. Who will sing it if it is to be sung?

It is on the first page. The small print.

Oh gosh...no. I must be the only person on the planet who does not like that song. I especially don't like the idea of it at St George's....

What would you think would be a more appropriate song, Moonmaiden23?

Doria's hairstyle is lovely today. She actually looks well rested considering the time change, but this whole experience must be quiet the adrenaline boost!

Please note that posts relating to Guy the Dog have been moved to the http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...7-a-43861.html thread. Posts relating to Meghan's extended family and to her former husband have been deleted since they do not relate to the topic of thread.

I've said it before, Doria barely looks 51, let alone 61.

I saw the article. I had to magnify it in order to read it. Middle-aged eyes.

More appropriate? No idea. It's obviously not my wedding. But I am generally against pop music in church period ,as a matter of taste.

The memory of "Candle In The Wind" at Westminster Abbey still makes me cringe.

The midnight has just passed in the UK!
It's TODAY!
Can you believe it?

[Zaira]

Harry will indeed be wearing a ring.

"Candle In The Wind" was a very moving and beautiful tribute, I nearly cried during it.

[soapstar]

I'm with those that aren't feeling Stand By Me. I'm just not a fan of the song. But I do really like this:

They’ll walk back down the aisle to Etta James’s “Amen/This Little Light of Mine.”

Link to the PDF of the Order of Service (just released).

Interestingly it has 'HRH Prince Henry of Wales' en 'Ms Meghan Markle' at the front page. Later on their names are read once in full but the vows use 'Harry' and 'Meghan' instead of full names.
