I had said I wasn't going to watch tv over the wedding, but how can I know what you are all talking about if I don't watch. So I did. I am not sorry. I thought Camilla looked very well. Her choice of dress on both occasions looked wonderful. The colour and style suited her age. What a pity that Charles hadn't married Camilla 33 years ago and then there would not have been so much misery. Cannot change all that, so let's get on with life so as it is. I thought Camilla could do with a new pair of national health dentures though. Anyone else think this? Sylvia xxx

I thought it was a lovely wedding, everyone looked relaxed and happy, Camilla looked very nice, she was dead nervous at the blessing though, at one point she looked towards her family and looked as though she was going to have a giggling fit. Anne xx

I missed the wedding itself (can't believe I forgot) but watched the blessing. Me and my daughter couldn't get over how Camilla's face is virtually line free!! Daughter says I look older than her and I'm not quite 40!! She looked really lovely. Sue xx

I thought it was great and I've quite warmed to the bride:)

I wanted to watch it not necessarily because I am a royalist, but I love weddings, too, and wanted to see a church blessing, and wanted to see the guests, and it's certainly something that'll never happen again in my lifetime. :-) Joy

They both look extremely happy. Even though I don't much like Camilla, you tend to forget that they're both human and in love. Surely that's all that matters. Would Diana still be bitter if she were alive today??

Thought the whole do was wonderful and Chrissie your comments are spot on - agree with every word! Congratulations and good luck to them. Daisy PS - Selfridges definitely stock feathery headdresses and I think I've seen them in John Lewis too!

Didn't Stephen Fry and Rowan Atkinson look smart in their top hats? Yes, Chrissie, I did. Who's that, I thought?! :-) By the way, if people doubted that William and Harry were happy, they should have seen them smiling and laughing, and smiling and joking with Camilla's children. Looked good to me! :-) Joy

Sorry Deanna, been watching the national. It will need to be pretty big for me too:)) It's lovely to see all the happy comments. I thought the walkabout was lovely too. The most natural and friendly one I have ever seen. Did everyone see the elderly gentleman cuddle and kiss Camilla?

Me to Joy, thought it was everything a wedding should be from start to finish, Dont think I have ever seen Charles so happy Lindaxx

I was switching from BBC to ITV, and definitely saw real smiles. One of the commentators said that the Queen's face shows her feelings. For me, to see her smiling - which she was - showed she was happy, and so were all the others. I enjoyed the service, and seeing the guests, too. :-) Joy

Thank you Joy I was a bit worried there thought I had seen something Marian hadnt seen I was sure that the Queen spoke to Camilla and smiled if you look on this threadMarian you will see that others saw it to Linda

Thanks Deanna - I'd better go shopping:))

Joy Report 9 Apr 2005 16:09

I wish them both good health and happiness. It was good to see the Queen and Prince Philip smiling and looking happy so close to the bride and groom, also Princes William and Harry, and everyone. I thought Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall looked happy and they did a walkabout very well too. :-) Joy

Deanna I agree - any ideas on where I could get a headress like it? I'm off to a wedding in May and I don't suit hats at all, but I think I could wear that one:)) Chrissie

Hi, I put the TV on just as they came out after the blessing and I saw the Queen smile at Camilla. She looked as happy as she ever looks. Glad it was over without another hitch, I expect. Gwynne

for anyone who watched the wedding all the way through they told you that the Queen was very happy with Charles & Camilla. The Queen and Cammila spoke and smiled at each other on the steps at Windsor Linda
