MILLIONS across the globe tuned into the biggest wedding of the year on Saturday, as Prince Harry and former actor Meghan Markle married at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.

As the sun shone across the UK, millions tuned into the coverage on the television, held street parties and their own personal events to celebrate the marriage of Prince Harry and Ms Meghan Markle, now the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The wedding ceremony, held at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, was decorated lavishly with elegant flowers, and welcomed celebrities such as Elton John, George Clooney, Tom Hardy, Serena Williams and Ms Markle’s former colleagues from US TV drama Suits to watch the couple get married.

Meanwhile, Emma Boucher and friend Beth Martin from Launceston were invited to watch a special viewing of the ceremony from the grounds of Windsor Castle, view the celebrities and royals as they arrived at the chapel and take in the day after Emma was selected by the Lord Lieutenant of Cornwall to attend for her efforts and work in the community.

In Bude, Victoria Road was one of two streets in Cornwall to host their own royal wedding street party, with hundreds of people turning out to share food, drink and take the opportunity to celebrate with their neighbours.

In Holsworthy, the town council received free union flags, kindly provided by Affordable Foods Holsworthy, to be used during the Wednesday weekly market.

The world watched in awe as Prince Harry and his brother, and best man, Prince William — the Duke of Cambridge — dressed in military clothing, made their way to the chapel, with excitement starting to set in.

As the royal family and Ms Markle’s mother Doria Ragland took their places in the choir’s chamber, and page boys, bridesmaids and flower girls began to arrive — including Prince George and Princess Charlotte — footage of the bride’s arrival marked the start of the ceremony.

Accompanied by two page boys, who carried her remarkably detailed veil, the bride wore a simple but elegant white gown designed by Clare Waight Keller at Givenchy, as well as a diamond bandeau tiara loaned by the Queen, which once belonged to Queen Mary.

The bride walked a length of the chapel alone, but was then accompanied by Prince Charles, the groom’s father, who led her to the altar.

After the vows were said, the congregation heard a passionate delivery on the subject of love by US bishop Michael Curry, as well as music from a gospel choir and 19-year-old cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason.

Following the service, the world watched as the newlywed Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared a kiss and made their way in an Ascot Landau away from the chapel.

The Duchess changed into a Stella McCartney gown for the evening ceremony, held at Frogmore House, and was driven by the Prince in a Jaguar e-type.
