The weather in Windsor is every bride-to-be’s dream.
The crisp morning is slowly turning into a warm summer day.
If the build-up to the wedding saw some of the worst things that could happen to a bride - notably the father of the bride’s heart attack - the actual day is going without a glitch.
All the screens, which were erected a few days ago, have been turned on and show celebrity guests arriving at St George’s Chapel.
Police seem alert, calm and under control.
The energised crowds break in to applause every now and then, using any opportunity - such as police walking by, or the arrival of George and Amal Clooney - to clap and cheer.
Children with Union Jack hats run around parents who are keeping an eye on the screens, while chatting away excitedly.
Amid the search for a “good spot” and the waving of good flags, lots of selfies are being taken on smart phones.
There is a tangible excitement in the atmosphere. Well-wishers - young and old - are united in their shared giddiness.
