I was in London on Friday at the Royal Wedding on Horseguards Parade representing Boys' Brigade, we also got right to the Gates of the Palace for the Balcony appearance.
The Lord-Lieutenants were not accompanied by their spouses nor were the clergy accompanied. The Moderator was also there.
I do believe Her Grace the Duchess of Abercorn was present though I have not spotted her on any footage of the wedding.
I think there were a few more NI Guests including Mr and Mrs Hay represeting the NI Assembly.
It was a wonderful day.
Cardinal Brady was also in attendance.
The Lord Chief Justice.
