Event: The Royal wedding
Date: April 29th 2011
Venue: Westminster Abbey

The date was set for the Royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton yesterday (November 23rd) and it will take place on April 29th.

As a result this day will be a public holiday and observers from around the globe will be able to see the event taking place in the wedding venue on TV.

It could also provide a good opportunity for a weekend break in London as the following Monday is May Day, meaning workers will get four days off.

Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, the prince's private secretary, explained that the couple had chosen the wedding venue for its "staggering beauty".

He said: "I have never seen two happier people. They're on cloud nine, like any other newly engaged couple."

It is thought the Prince, who is second in line to the throne, wants to invite children, volunteers and the homeless to the wedding to make it one for the people.

A number of street parties will also be held and a concert with some of Britain's top pop stars will also be occurring.

Therefore, those who wish to feel the atmosphere surrounding the city on this day, take part in the celebrations or take advantage of the long weekend can stay in the 5 star hotel,  the Langham London to feel like royalty themselves.


The hotel near Oxford Street is offering a special package for the Royal wedding weekend, with a daily breakfast, free wireless in the room and a celebratory Tea Royale for two in Palm Court. Easter Delight costs £345 excluding VAT.......

When Goldberg appeared in the show in August, fans were willing to pay hundreds of pounds for tickets, reports This is London.
