Windsor gets ready: All systems go and tight security around royal wedding venue
Windsor is getting ready for the Royal Wedding.
Friends and family of the couple, royalists and the world’s media have descended on Windsor ahead of the nuptials.
People were treated to a sneak preview of the soon-to-be newlyweds, thanks to realistic looking waxworks by Madame Tussauds.
The wax figures were placed along the Long Walk in Windsor so fans could pose for selfies and make their own memories of the royal occasion.
The town’s streets have been lined with bunting and Union Jack flags to celebrate hosting the wedding.
During the ceremony, Prince Harry’s nephew and niece, Prince George and Princess Charlotte will act as pageboy and bridesmaid.
The youngsters have practise in the roles after carrying out the same duties at their aunt Pippa’s wedding last year.

Meghan’s other bridesmaids will include Harry’s goddaughters, Zalie Warren, two, and three-year-old Florence van Cutsem, Ms Markle’s goddaughters, sisters Remi and Rylan Litt, aged six and seven respectively, and four-year-old Ivy Mulroney.
The other pageboys are Harry’s godson, Jasper Dyer, aged six, and seven-year-old twin brothers Brian and John Mulroney.
The palace has already announced that Ms Markle is not having a maid of honour because she did not want to choose just one person from her close-knit group of friends.
Kate is likely to play a supervisory role for the young pageboys and bridesmaids, something she did when her younger sister, Pippa, married James Matthews last year.
