6 a) Read the text about the latest British Royal Wedding.
THE BIG DAY
The Abbey suited them because, despite its grandeur and its thousand year connection with British royalty, once you get to the high altar, it's a surprisingly small and intimate area. It was here, more than 63 years ago, that William's grandparents, and then Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh, were married. That wedding took place at a time when people were suffering economic hardship, soon after the Second World War and William and Kate are said to be mindful of current economic difficulties, but aware too that millions around the world were expecting a show.
After the service, as man and wife, William and Kate boarded a horse drawn carriage at Westminster Abbey for the procession back to Buckingham Palace. The route took them across Parliament Square, up Whitehall and across Horse Guards' Parade, and along the Mall. When they got to Buckingham Palace, they attended what's described as 'a wedding buffet' hosted by the Queen, and then history repeated itself. And just as William's grandparents did on a grey November day in 1947 and as his parents did in the high summer of 1981, the wedding was sealed - in the public's mind at least - with an appearance on the palace balcony.
But for all the memories of past royal weddings, this royal couple were determined to make it their day, and to do it their way.
