[Sussex] Royal Wedding TV Coverage

[Badger]

Hold on. No mention of Nicholas Witchell!

Just heard the latest from Nicholas Witchell on BBC News. Apparently "Harry was keen to get Diana's family involved in the wedding". Erm, you mean he's inviting his aunties and uncles? I think that's pretty standard at a wedding.

I'm looking forward to this as a keen supporter of the royal family. BBC line up looks better than ITV.

Kermit O'Dreary, Vernon Kay, some bird off Gogglebox, Alex Jones, Tom Daley. It's the stuff of dreams.

I genuinely couldn't give a monkeys!
I'll be playing golf in Spain all that week.

Without wanting to pull out the whoosh, I think you may be missing the point slightly.

Dermot O'Leary and Scarlett Moffatt will be among the presenters for the BBC's royal wedding coverage, the corporation has announced.
Prince Harry will marry Meghan Markle in Windsor on 19 May.
O'Leary will lead BBC One television coverage for the ceremony, alongside Kirsty Young and Huw Edwards.
Tina Daheley, Alex Jones, Tulip Mazumba and Munday Bandele will be gathering reaction around Windsor, while Moffatt will act as royal correspondent for Radio 1.
The BBC said it hoped to "bring the nation together" through its coverage.
A preview show, The Royal Wedding: They're Getting Married In The Morning - fronted by O'Leary, Young and Edwards, will be a 3 hour extravaganza broadcast on Friday 7 until 10, the night before the ceremony.

Are you the ultimate Royal Wedding fan?
For the big day itself, Young and O'Leary will be based by the moat outside Windsor Castle, while Edwards will be on the roof of the Guard Room within the castle walls.
The newsreader said he was "thrilled to be part of the presenting team for the royal wedding celebrations".
"It's always great to get out from behind the news desk, there’s nothing quite like a Royal Wedding to bring jubilation to the Nation and get the blood pumping" he added.
Ms Markle and the prince will marry at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle at midday, before travelling through the Berkshire town in a carriage at 13:00 GMT.
One Show host Alex Jones and Newbeat Presenters Tulip Mazumba and Munday Bandele will join Radio 1 newsreader Daheley and Countryfile host Rani around Windsor "to capture the stories, excitement and reactions of the day as the town reaches fever pitch for the biggest occasion of the year".
More than 1,000 members of the public, including charity workers and school children, have been invited to the grounds of Windsor Castle for the wedding and some 100,000 wellwishers are expected around Windsor on the day to pass on their best wishes to the incredible couple.
A statement from Kensington Palace said Ms Markle and Prince Harry wanted "members of the public to feel part of the celebrations too".
Live coverage of the wedding ceremony will be broadcast on big screens around the UK, including in Belfast, Brighton, Salisbury, Leeds, Swansea, Andover, Rotherham, Southend, Winchester and Portsmouth.
Moffatt 'proud and humbled'
Radio 1's coverage will be led by Moffatt, a former Gogglebox star.
Announcing her involvement on Twitter, the 27-year-old said she was "proud" to be involved in the royal couple's big day.
"To say I was excited would be an understatement, this is a watershed day for the Nation as we welcome someone new into our Royal Family and to be part of it is an honour and a privilege" she said.
Olympic Diver Tom Daley and This Morning presenter Richard Arnold will provide an LGBT perspective on the big day and the wedding.
Kirsty Young, known for her role as host of Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, said the royal couple have "captured the goodwill of the world", with their "very personal, modern day love story".
On Monday, the BBC announced it would waive the TV licence fee for communities wanting to watch the wedding.
It means street parties and other special events can screen the wedding live without buying a licence.
Coverage on the day of the event begins at 6:30am on BBC1 and 10am on BBC2 and will run through until 3pm in the afternoon.
ITV’s coverage will be fronted by Vernon Kay, Stephen Mulhern and Sir Trevor McDonald, whilst Channel 4 have promised an alternative view of the wedding through their presenting team of Claire Balding and veteran BBC Royal Correspondent Jenny Bond.

No alternative coverage from Netflix!

Those 1000 peasants have also been told they have to supply their own food.

The whole thing is an outdated circus display.

Vernon Kay?
What THE Vernon Kay?
That's quite a thing.
I can only think that there must be a Royal Wedding Family Fortunes on in the morning
The Windsors v The Merkels (Father has not turned up)

Fingers on buzzers.
Name something that is not used in the winter.
Buzzzzzzz
Yes your majesty

Crodo's probably in the queue already...



ROYAL Wedding fans can get a delicious taste of the action this weekend with a limited edition KFC golden bargain bucket.

Only 50 of the special commemorative fried chicken buckets will be made available, so lovers of the royal wedding and chicken will have to be quick to get one.

And there's another catch for anyone wanting to get their hands on this unique piece of royal memorabilia.

The buckets, which KFC has described as "limited-edition ornately designed" buckets, are available exclusively from the fried chicken giant's Windsor branch.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will have to go slightly out of their way to get one of the golden buckets, as the royal route will pass around 1.3 miles from the KFC.

The buckets have a golden KFC logo on one side, and on the back have the slogan: "We declare a regal day of celebration, jubilation... And fried chicken".

KFC has described the bucket as a "priceless piece of British history" and are expecting huge queues for them.

I may be missing something but I don't understand what the problem is with her dad posing for some pap photos. Probably around half of pap photos are taken with the permission of the person being photographed so what is the big deal?

Who gives a shit. I have nothing against the Royal family but watching another bloody wedding is like watching paint dry. The news headlines will be sufficient for me in the evening.
