Royal wedding: route Kate Middleton will take to Westminster Abbey revealed
Details about the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton have been released, including the route the bride will travel to Westminster Abbey.
The plans are revealed the day before Miss Middleton appears on the cover of a special royal wedding edition of Tatler in a mock-up of Andy Warhol's famous 1962 Marilyn Monroe screen prints.
Clarence House confirmed that Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, will conduct the April 29 wedding service.
The couple will return to Buckingham Palace in a carriage procession along a route which will include Parliament Square, Whitehall, Horse Guards Parade and The Mall.
Once inside the Palace, the Queen will give a reception for the couple and guests drawn from the congregation representing the couple's official and private lives.
"Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton have made more decisions on their upcoming wedding," Clarence House said on the Twitter micromessaging service.
The royal wedding, on a Friday, has been designated an official public holiday. With Easter falling the weekend before, and May Day holiday on the following Monday, it means many people will enjoy two four-day weekends in a row.
The couple were said to be "completely over the moon" after getting the spring wedding they wanted in a venue they chose for its "staggering beauty" and 1,000-year royal history.
They are also keen on making the day a national celebration and a concert in Hyde Park to mark the occasion has been proposed.
Prince William and Miss Middleton, both 28, announced their engagement on November 16 after an eight-year courtship that began at St Andrews University.
The prince, the second-in-line to the throne, gave Miss Middleton the engagement ring belonging to his mother, the late Diana, Princess of Wales, who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.
