THE ROYAL WEDDING

posted by Susie Hernandez

Royal watchers will appreciate the BBC’s full coverage of one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the century, the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Live coverage starts tonight at midnight on our sister stations, KUAZ-FM, and PBS-HD. That's right folks, the Beebs made it available for radio and TV tonight.

Live TV coverage will include the journey of all the members of the Royal Family and the bride as they make their way to Westminster Abbey, the arrivals of all the key guests, and full coverage of the wedding service. Following the service, you’ll see the full procession back to Buckingham Palace. The final moments of the coverage is for the long awaited balcony wave as a married couple.

The Beebs is offering 5 and a half hours of coverage. Reporters will be stationed around Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace and The Mall watching the preparations as they unfold, reporting on all the movements and speaking to members of the crowd who have travelled from all over to witness this piece of history. Guests include Royal historians and correspondents, fashion experts and possibly some guests who are attending the wedding service.
