Off the top of my head, it would be a toss up between Brooklyn Beckham and the Elton John/David Furnish love child.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I've remembered incorrectly.

Amazing isn't it. For our part in trying to make the town centre a livelier place to be we took the massively life changing figure of £10 it was that dead. As long as him and his cronies enjoyed the champagne and oysters don't suppose it really matters.

Nah.

I think the Stuart Pretender would try to retake the throne.

Perhaps that's what the person in charge of the Market Hall clicker was buying, when I saw her in Tesco yesterday.

Does that cover that cover the electric for the day?

£15K on promoting people into the town on a Friday(for some gathering or other), when people are off work, kids off school and all you make is £10.

Shame on this council, I thought the plan was to lessen empty shops, not create them.

Totally agree, a great day and am sure Diana was looking down and adding her blessings.

I'm afraid that not all the fashion statements were a success. Who told this poor girl she looked good in this monstrosity?

They both seem to have the style and panache of overflowing dustbins.......though I am pretty sure Garinda could give us an educated opinion on the style choices made by these two young ladies.

Like the song says 'You've either got, or you haven't got style...and when you got it, it stands out a mile'

Having seen some more of the wedding on Sky TV this morning(I was hoping for some news....but ah well)Catherine looked stunning, regal and modest.......and the couple looked genuinely happy....unlike the uncomfortable looks that his father had when he married Diana...but now we all know why that was.

I hope they both have a long and happy life together.

Their mother's Fergie.

Enough said.

Even Vivienne Westwood can't turn a sow's ear into a silk purse.

Like their mother, they always try too hard, and look over the top.

For inspiration they should look to the Duchess of Kent, or her daughter Lady Helen Taylot, when it comes to understated chic.

Last fashion tit-bit - the fascinator is dead. Wear a proper hat.

Can't comment on the fashion; don't know jack about that stuff.

But I do agree that they looked happy and relaxed, and, you are right when you note that this happiness came across as "genuine". I think that these two have it in them to re-invent the monarchy. Bad news for the republicans, eh.

Lets be honest here,its hard not to look happy on yer wedding day init? though Charles managed the miserable effect years ago.

Watch the Observer for more news as ideas are firmed up.'
Leaders Viewpoint February 2011

Is this wedding important enough to you, that you're happy that tax payers' money will be spent celebrating the event here in Hyndburn?

I don't get the hysteria at all! What is to be happy about these people getting married? Are you all morons or what
