Royal wedding celebrations!

Like a good chuck of the uk’s population we joined in with the celebrations for the wedding of prince William and Kate Middleton yesterday. I’m not particularly a royalist and to be honest I think that we pay far to much towards them, however Luke has got very excited in the last few weeks about the wedding so we decided to join in.
We went into Mansfield to watch the arrival And the ceremony on the big plasma screens. Luke spotted someone on tv with his facepainted and decided he wanted his doing so we all ended up with our faces painted as you can see from the picture.
We sat in the Marketplace and watched the main part of the ceremony before heading home to watch the parade and having a cuddle on the sofa while waiting for “the kiss”
Needless to say Luke loved the whole day, jack wasn’t as bothered I don’t think and wandered off to play with his trains.
All in all a good day! Thought that the council could have put a bit more effort into the planning, apart from the soapbox racing there was just the usual radio Mansfield van and a big screen. All a little bit disappointing really but we enjoyed watching it all the same!
