reportedly acted as compere.
The car's number plate bore the date of the wedding - E190518 - and Prince Harry proved he was the perfect gentleman as he opened the door of a vintage car to let his bride step in, as he drove her to their private evening reception in a scene akin to a James Bond film.

Markle’s cousin, Noel Rasmussen, the 19-year-old daughter of Samantha

newspaper to travel from her home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and be in
London for the day.

“We’re just regular people – then all of a sudden Meghan began dating Prince Harry and it has been crazy ever since,” she told The Mirror.
“They’re just really feeling hurt and they don’t know how to deal with it. I’m OK with not having been invited, I just want her to be happy. “She’ll be a great wife and a great ambassador for America.”

Fans continue the celebrations at street parties
Joe Shute reports from Windsor: While
the Royals and their inner circle celebrate at Frogmore House their
fans are continuing the party on the streets of Windsor.
Outside the newly-named "Prince Harry" pub on the High Street (until this week formerly The Three Tuns) revellers in Royal family masks are drinking toasts to the happy couple.
Nicola Glimmerveen, 32, of Sunningdale, her partner Simon Jones and friend Elizabeth Cartmell came dressed as the Duke of Edinburgh and the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
While they bought the Harry and Meghan masks in a shop, Glimmerveen admits she found the Prince Philip one abandoned on the pavement.
Drinking Pimm’s and pints of Windsor Knot, a specially-brewed beer to celebrate the wedding, Glimmerveen says they plan to stay up all night in the town celebrating.
“It’s been such a fun day,” she says. Tom Nicholson, a 35-year farmer from Surrey, had sailed his pleasure craft, Jarni, down the River Thames to Windsor for the day and rigged the boat in Harry and Meghan bunting.
Dressed in a blue suit and straw boater he admitted he had been enjoying “a couple of jars” to celebrate the day.
Despite the bulk of the 100,000 strong crowd departing from Windsor following the wedding many of its pubs and restaurants are still doing a roaring trade as well-wishers keep partying on.
At one stage at Meat At the Parish, a steak and lobster restaurant on the High Street, the entire room broke out into an impromptu rendition of the hymn, Jerusalem.

Karen Gibson, founder and director of the Kingdom Choir which performed during the wedding, said Charles' office first approached her about the group of singers taking part in the wedding.
Ms Gibson said: "The couple didn't actually ring us at first, the call came from Clarence House. I understand that Prince Charles really likes gospel music.
"The couple were very intentional about what they wanted sung and how they wanted it sung, but the actual idea came from Prince Charles - although they were very happy to have gospel music."
She said about the arrangement of Stand By Me, which was played after the rousing address by US bishop Michael Curry: "It was more reflective, more personal - and even though its a secular song, it's inspired by a spiritual."

While the
gospel classic Amen/This Little Light Of Mine was sung as the newlyweds
left the church, even some of the crowds listening to the outside
broadcast of the wedding service clapped along.
Ms Gibson added: "We want people to get involved, tap their feet, sing along, that's what gospel music is, it's all embracing and inviting."
Speaking about how the music performed at the wedding mirrored modern culture, she said: "We live in a multi-cultural society, so we had classical music, contemporary classical music as well and gospel music, because you've got many cultures living here so it's reflective of what society looks like today."

Royal wedding body language expert: Meghan Markle was 'strength of ceremony'
Meghan
"was the strength" of her wedding ceremony to Prince Harry, as her body
language showed she was constantly reassuring him, an expert said.
Despite the whole experience being completely new for Meghan she did not display a single sign of anxiety or nervousness - while her new husband, the Duke of Sussex, "was so patently nervous".
Judi James, a body language expert, said Harry performed about 12 self-touching body checks, like pulling at his gloves and wringing his hands, within a few paces of getting out his car after arriving at St George's Chapel in Windsor.

However
Meghan, the latest member of the royal family, maintained complete calm
throughout the ceremony to "help Harry through it".
Ms James said: "Meghan was amazing. Walking up the aisle by herself, I looked for every smallest sign of suppressed anxiety and nervousness - there was absolutely nothing.
"I think she probably saw it as her role to help Harry through it rather than the other way round. She sat with her hand over his for quite a bit of the service as though she was reassuring him.
"To me, she was the strength when it came to the day and the actual performance."

'Take your time', spectators warned in mass Windsor exodus
After the ceremony, the estimated 100,000-strong crowd began to head for the railway station, causing long queues.
Repeated loudspeaker announcements warned well-wishers that the Cambridge Gate and the route to the station was very congested and urged: "Take your time."
Attendees were asked to take the longer route to the station by walking the length of the Long Walk away from the castle.
Many families opted to enjoy the afternoon on the grass while the crowds departed, while hundreds of litter pickers set to work cleaning up any mess.
An announcement on the Long Walk said the railway station remained very crowded and there was a wait for services. People were asked to consider looking at what else Windsor has to offer.

Young cellist from Nottingham plays during signing of the register
The organ is now playing as those who are signing the registers move from the Quire to the North Quire Aisle.
During the signing of the register, the following is played by Sheku Kanneh-Mason, a young cellist, plus the orchestra. He hails from Nottingham and comes from an astonishingly gifted family. He won BBC Young Musician of the Year in 2016.
View of Telegraph's classical music critic Ivan Hewett:
MARIA THERESIA VON PARADIS: SICILIENNE
Von Paradis was a notable 18th century Viennese pianist and composer. Mozart probably wrote his Piano Concerto no 18 for her. She became blind at an early age but that didn’t stop her musical career. This piece probably isn’t by her – it was probably by the 20 th century violinist Samuel Dushkin.
GABRIEL FAURÉ: APRÈS UN RÊVE
This song has been endlessly re-arranged. It’s the single most popular song by this late 19th – early 20th century composer.
FRANZ SCHUBERT: AVE MARIA
It sounds like a piece of Latin church music, but in fact it’s one a set of songs Schubert composed in 1825, all based on poems in Sir Walter Scott’s epic ‘The Lady of the Lake’. This one is based on a prayer uttered by Ellen in front of the Virgin Mary, asking for forgiveness for her father’s sins.

'I therefore proclaim that they are husband and wife'
The
Archbishop says: "In the presence of God, and before this congregation,
Harry and Meghan have given their consent and made their marriage vows
to each other. They have declared their marriage by the joining of hands
and by the giving and receiving of rings. I therefore proclaim that
they are husband and wife."
The Archbishop joins their right hands together and says: "Those whom God has joined together let no-one put asunder."
The couple are now officially married!

Giving of the rings: They're nearly married
The Duke of Cambridge, in his role as best man, stepped forward to hand over the rings.
Prince Harry now places the wedding ring on the fourth finger of Ms Markle's left hand and, holding it there, says: "I give you this ring as a sign of our marriage. With my body I honour you, all that I am I give to you, and all that I have I share with you, within the love of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit."

Now the Archbishop of Canterbury, is leading the vows.
As Prince Harry and Ms Markle face each other and join hands, the bridegroom says:
"I Harry, take you, Meghan, to be my wife, to have and to hold from, this day forward; for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part; according to God's holy law. In the presence of God I make this vow."

After that effusive sermon, next up Karen Gibson and The Kingdom Choir are singing Stand By Me, Ben E King’s 1960 pop song.

It’s not a sacred piece, but the words have the just the right sentiment. It’s all about standing by your loved one in testing times, and it was inspired by the spiritual “Stand by me Father” – which itself refers to Psalm 46. The Performers are Kingdom Choir – 20 singers based in South-East London directed by Karen Gibson.

Address by The Most Reverend Michael Curry
The Most Rev Bishop Michael Curry,
the first African-American presiding bishop and primate of the
Episcopal Church, gave an address titled the Power of Love at the
service in St George's Chapel.
He opened his speech with the words of Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr, who said: "We must discover the power of love, the redemptive power of love. And when we do that, we will be able to make of this old world a new world. Love is the only way."
The bishop then added: "There's power in love. Don't underestimate it. Don't even over-sentimentalise. There is power, power in love."

Bishop
Curry told the service: "There's power in love. Love can help and heal
when nothing else can. There's power in love to lift up and liberate
when nothing else will."
Such power could be seen in the service, he continued, saying: "Two young people fell in love and we all showed up."
The Episcopal Church is the US offshoot of the Church of England and forms part of the broader Anglican Communion. Meghan was baptised into the Anglican Church, which is headed by Harry's grandmother.

Beautifully simple – which it had to be, because Tallis’s ultimate boss – Archbishop Cranmer, one of the architects of the English Reformation – said the old Latin church music had got too complicated and the words could no longer be heard, and composers now had to write simpler, audible pieces in English – without being plain and dull. Tallis pulls it off brilliantly.

The Archbishop says to the bridegroom: "Harry, will you take Meghan to be your wife? Will you love her, comfort her, honour and protect her, and, forsaking all others, be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?"
There is laughter in the chapel as Prince Harry answers: "I will."

Fifteen minutes until ceremony starts: The music inside the chapel
With just
15 minutes until the bride arrives, here's what music is being played
inside St George's Chapel. A folky/antique theme dominates in this
sequence of pieces.
EDWARD ELGAR SALUT D’AMOUR
Elgar’s first published piece. Originally written in 1888 as a gift for his future wife Carice. He sold the rights to the publisher for two guineas, which was a really bad move. It became massively popular and could have earned him a fortune.
GUSTAV HOLST: ST PAUL’S SUITE, 4 TH MOVT
Holst taught at St Paul’s School for Girls and composed this in 1912 for the school orchestra. This movement based on 16 th century English ballad
SIR CHARLES HUBERT HASTINGS PARRY movts 2,3,5
Parry, a leading light of the so-called ‘English Renaissance’ who was the first director of the Royal College of Music in 1883. He wrote his Lady Radnor’s suite in 1894 for the all-women orchestra conducted by Helen, Countess of Radnor. It’s a kind of Baroque Suite in Victorian dress.
PETER WARLOCK: CAPRIOL SUITE
Set of dances based on a book of Renaissance dances composed by Peter Warlock (gifted composer who died in 1930 aged 36).
RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS: FANTASIA ON GREENSLEEVES
Vaughan Williams was a collector of folk-song, and wrote many pieces based on the songs he found. This one is especially beloved, it’s always in Classic FM’s Hall of Fame. More famous and well-known than the tune it’s based on.
ELGAR SERENADE FOR STRINGS
Elgar’s first really successful work, completed in 1893. It remained one of his favourite works right to the end of his life. He liked it because it was ‘really stringy’ – weird phrase but a musician knows What he means – it completely suits a string orchestra, you couldn’t arrange it for something else.
ELGAR CHANSON DE MATIN
In his early days, Elgar was always complaining about having no money, and wrote this delicious piece in 1899 as a deliberate money-spinner for his publisher Novello. It worked.

Hundreds of 'golden ticket' holders gather outside chapel
Throughout the morning, hundreds of members of the public gathered on the grass alongside St George’s Chapel, reports Victoria Ward.
Dressed in their finery, they laid out picnic rugs and folding chairs and settled down to watch the only show in town.
From their ringside seats, the crowds, some 1,200 of whom had been invited in recognition of the work they have done for their communities, watched the steady stream of guests arrive at the chapel.
Penned in behind rope but just a stone’s throw away, they grew increasingly animated as people began to arrive, walking right past them, the length of the chapel from the Round Tower to the Galilee Porch.
Many waved flags and cheered as familiar faces walked by, including Idris Elba and Oprah Winfrey.
“Oh there goes James Blunt, and James Blunt wants everyone to make sure they’ve seen James Blunt,” laughed one, as the singer paused to wave to the spectators.

To the
sound of champagne corks popping and cameras clicking, the crowd,
basking in the sun, provided a jovial running commentary on the guests’
outfits.
Many stood to watch the steady procession while others simply sat and soaked up the atmosphere, reading newspapers and sipping prosecco.
A few dipped into their “goody bags” - canvas bags inscribed with Harry and Meghan’s initials and packed with branded chocolate, shortbread, a magnet, a bottle of Windsor Castle water and a wedding programme, not to mention a voucher for 20 per cent off in the castle shop.
On occasion, the crowd fell silent as they studiously watched the procession, trying to identify well-known faces and admiring the colourful parade.
“Try and get to know your neighbours really well,” a member of staff yelled at them. “Make friends, sit tight, enjoy yourselves."

Food stalls delivered breakfast baps to wellwishers on blankets and the pop of every prosecco cork was met with a cheer.

'Strangers not only made eye contact, they chatted animatedly': On board the first train to Windsor
There was something distinctly unusual about the 05.18 train from Paddington this morning, reports Judith Woods.
The fancy frocks, the Union flags, and the air of excited merriment set the service to Windsor & Eton Central apart.
Strangers not only made eye contact, they chatted animatedly, someone whistled a wedding march and there was talk of nothing but Harry and Meghan’s nuptials.
“I’ve been up since midnight,” said Laurie Walls, 33, a bookseller and librarian from Indiana, who took two weeks off work to travel to Britain for the wedding.
“I was too hyped up to sleep. I’ve always been fascinated by the royals and ever since I watched William and Harry at Diana’s funeral I’ve followed them avidly from afar.”

College student Max Botheras, 24, described his trek to Windsor as
“participating in history”. Meghan, he felt, was a wonderful addition
to the royal family.
“My partner is a black person and it’s really great seeing someone mixed race join the House of Windsor. Fairytales really do come true.”
For Canadian Charmaine Goodman, 51, from Ottowa, resplendent in smart red day dress and extravagant fascinator, there was no question of missing Harry and Meghan’s big day.
“I was here for Wiliam and Catherine’s wedding so I just had to be here for Harry,” the HR manager said. “I went to Windsor yesterday to do a recce and check out the route of the procession. The festivities are less dispersed than London, Windsor has a cosier feel; we met so many people just when we were walking around.”

Order of service revealed: British pageantry, soul music and gospel
When Meghan Markle enters St George’s Chapel to begin the last steps in her journey to join the Royal family, the state trumpeters will sound a fanfare that has accompanied its brides for generations, reports The Telegraph's Royal Correspondent Hannah Furness.
Before long, as she says her vows to Prince Harry, that time-honoured tradition will give way to striking modernity, with the soaring voices of a gospel choir singing music from Ben E King and Etta James.
Saturday's Royal wedding ceremony, with each detail chosen by the couple, will blend the best-loved elements of British pageantry with a modern outlook that reflects the Prince and Ms Markle, in a service designed to capture the best of each of their heritage.
From the music of Sir Charles Hubert Parry and a reading from the Bible to a procession of a newlyweds accompanied by a rendition of This Little Light of Mine, their choices go to the heart of their relationship: English customs blended with an American influence, offset by an overriding message of joy.

Most of
the ceremony will see the Prince and Ms Markle referred to simply as
“Harry and Meghan”, eschewing the full repetition of their names: Prince
Henry Charles Albert David and Rachel Meghan Markle.
The decision will ensure neither endures the test faced by the Prince’s parents, where the then Lady Diana Spencer muddled her words to get Prince Charles’ middle names the wrong way around.
Hymns will also honour the Prince’s mother, with Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer, otherwise known as Bread of Heaven, remembered both for being played at her funeral and as a Welsh rugby anthem sung regularly by Prince Harry.
As the service continues, A gospel choir will perform Ben E King’s Stand By Me, later followed by Etta James' uplifting version of Amen/This Little Light of Mine - a joyous childhood favourite. Click here to read the full story.

Prince
Harry is expected to be given a title, most likely a dukedom, by his

duchess on marriage.

The pair then headed to exclusive Coworth Park country house hotel in Ascot, where the prince was spending his last night as a single man away from his bride as is tradition.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, who will marry Prince Harry and Ms Markle, has spoken of the strong bond the couple share.
"There's profound affection between them which is wonderful and a deep understanding and mutual support," he said.
"You see in the way they respond to each other, caring for each other, which is something you see in many couples but not always. But it's very evident and that's wonderful."
As the Order of Service was published on the morning of the wedding, it revealed Prince Harry will wear a ring - not a given for royal men - and Ms Markle will not promise to obey her husband in the vows.

Ms Markle, who found fame played Rachel Zane in the US legal drama Suits, is the first mixed race person in modern history to marry a senior British royal.
Prince Harry, 33, and 36-year-old Ms Markle became engaged following a whirlwind 16-month romance after going on a blind date in London.
The prince has told how "all the stars were aligned" when they met.
"It was this beautiful woman just sort of literally tripped and fell into my life, I fell into her life," he said when their engagement was announced last November.
Ms Markle has been married before. She wed first husband film producer Trevor Engelson in 2011 but the pair divorced less than two years later.
The last time a senior royal wanted to marry an American divorcee, it sparked a constitutional crisis and rocked the British monarchy to the core. King Edward VIII, Prince Harry's great-great-uncle, abdicated over his love for Mrs Wallis Simpson in 1936.
