The wedding buildup

First we went to Southbank, but there wasn't much of a crowd so we didn't stay because Mum wanted an atmosphere. So we followed the crowd to Trafalger Square, but we couldn't see the big screen, so we went to the outskirts of Trafalger Square, and we kept moving until we could see a glimpse of the screen. The crowd was so big, and everyone was struggling to see the screen, that people climbed on top of telephone boxes and on top of the bus shelters.

One of the people that she invited, bought hula hoops, skipping ropes, and giant dominoes for the kids to play with but I didn't really. Only at the end with a girl that I met called Molly. And all the food was English food such as sponge cake, cucumber sandwiches and so on. And one of her friends was a chef, and he baked this wedding cake for the royal wedding, and it had two little dolls
