Thanks for the link to the Royals channel; I didn't know there was one, but it'll be good to miss the commentary. :)
William and Kate pizza? Wow, I thought we Americans had the lock on tacky commercialism (I'm sure we still do, too. Somewhere in America, there're probably pizzas decorated w/ the "dolly book" images of William and Kate in their underwear :)).
Hi Fuzzy Slippers and welcome. As I understand it this will be the first time that Youtube have done live streaming so I hope it works as I don't generally watch TV.
As to tackiness there us a general rule that where America leads Europe will follow and this post is not intended to mock the marriage or the Monarchy just those that jump on the bandwaggon with their tawdrey commercialism.
10am BST (British Summer Time) and the broadcast began spot on time, ooh look, there's Ed Miliband, leader of the Opposition.
What's with the trees in the middle of the Abbey?
Up goes a shout, David Cameron comes out, wearing proper morning suit and not the dreary lounge suit as posited by the press.
10:05 Various Establishment ladies as per the hilarious i-Tunes spoof vid

10:10 General view of the congregation, pixilation is a bit iffy but there is Greensleeves playing in the backgound. This is so much nicer without the inane factoids of the BBC commentary team.
10:15 Helicopter views of Buck house, The Mall, the crowd; Policemen in white gloves. No sign of Anarchists or Islamic protests yet.
10:20 Huge shout as Prince Edward is driven by in full military. ceremonial into Horseguards Parade; pixilation still not great but as a first for Youtube this is fine and the BBC coverage is just fantastic, especially without the commentary.
Excuse me as I head for the Vodka and some relax.
Her dress is divine, and they both look so truly happy. The whole thing's been very exciting (yes, I'm watching every second :).)
Hi banned:
I got up early and watched the entire wedding coverage on Fox News. I didn't know about the live stream on YouTube. Actually, there wasn't any commentary during the service, which was nice because American commentators aren't exactly up to speed on the monarchy and such. Actually, Shep Smith didn't seem to be too thrilled with the assignment, although Martha MacCallum was property enthralled.
Kate (Catherine) looked beautiful, and I wish she and her Prince much happiness. Diana's sons seem to be pretty down to earth.
Thanks for sharing the "lovely" mementos of the wedding...especially the pizza.
17:00, 5pm and they are still broadcasting on Youtube just in time to catch the balcony appearence of the newlyweds together with the smiley junior pagepersons and a very happy looking Queen, Phil the Hun and their loopy son Prince Charles, King in Waiting.
The crowd go mental especially at the flypast of vintage RAF planes and then those few more modern ones that are no yet committed to adventure overseas.
Hi Conservative Lady Being that early in the US meant people could watch it live without taking time off work?
It's good to know that with all our trials and tribulations the independently wealthy of Britain still know how to put on a classy show.
Looks like I wasn't the only one to opt for Youtube
Royal wedding breaks online streaming records
Viewers not impressed by BBC commentator
"Other viewers said that Edwards was "boring", "drivelling" and "pompous".
"Huw Edwards is making a right hash of this commentary, should've been David Dimbleby that had the gig!" said one.
Thanks for the link.
You are welcome Mark, great pic.
Good grief, I've been mis-reading that leg as a horn drinking vessel.
I suppose it is a little surprise for Victoria Beckham when she next takes David's tracky bums off for him.
It is a leg, isn't it?
