WITH two days to go before Prince William and Kate Middleton marry, excitement about Britain's biggest royal wedding for 30 years is building, although the dress remains a state secret.
The old man, a tramp with a grey torn cloak, while dumping all that trash into the river, suggested silently, asking me to look at how the river flows, how it continues to remain clear and clean. Did he speak to me? It felt so strong, making so much sense. It must've been my own observation.
Finishing touches are being made to a limited-edition commemorative plate designed by a schoolgirl in Bahrain - a copy of which will be handed to Prince William and his sweetheart Kate Middleton after the couple tie the knot at a lavish British royal wedding ceremony on Friday.
THE see-through dress worn by Kate Middleton at a charity fashion show at St Andrews University sold for £65,000 (BD41,192), plus a £13,000 (BD8,238) buyer's fees.
A FOR ABBEY: William and Kate will marry in Westminster Abbey, a London church steeped in royal history. The funeral of Princess Diana, William's mother, took place there in 1997, and the first king William was crowned in the abbey in 1066 after the Norman conquest of England. B FOR BEST MAN: William's brother Prince Harry will be his best man, while Kate's sister Pippa will be her maid of honour. Harry, dubbed the 'Party Prince' by the British press, has promised some cracking tales in his best man's speech - but nothing too colourful in front of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II. C FOR CARRIAGE: Kate Middleton will travel to the wedding in a Rolls Royce limousine that was damaged when student protesters attacked Prince Charles and his wife Camilla in December. Royal watchers may be hoping for rain at the wedding and the appearance of the famed horse-drawn Glass Coach used by William's mother Diana at her wedding in 1981, which will only be used in the event of wet weather. D FOR DIANA: The spirit of Diana, who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997, will hang over the wedding, which is taking place 30 years since her own marriage to Charles in 1981. E FOR EATING: The menu for the wedding lunch is a closely guarded secret, but one thing is assured: it will be 'so British'. F FOR FERGIE: The black sheep of the royal family, William's aunt Sarah Ferguson has not been invited to the wedding after a series of tabloid revelations. G FOR GIFTS: No food mixers or bath towels on this wedding list: the royal couple have named 26 charitable organisations to which they want their guests to donate. Queen Elizabeth II received more than 2,500 presents at her wedding. H FOR HONEYMOON: Kenya? Mauritius? Speculation is rife about where the newlyweds will spend their honeymoon before starting married life in a cottage in Wales. I FOR 'I DO': It will be the most hotly anticipated 'I do' of the year, witnessed by a global TV audience of some two billion plus huge crowds in London and media from around the world. J FOR JUBILEE: Addicts of royal pageantry need not despair after the wedding, for Queen Elizabeth II will celebrate her diamond jubilee in June next year. K FOR KATE: But not for long. After the wedding she will be officially known as Catherine. L FOR LOVE: The couple fell in love while studying at St Andrews University in Scotland. M FOR MIDDLETONS: Kate Middleton's background is not nearly as blue-blooded as her future husband's. Her parents, Michael and Carole, met while working as airline staff in the 1970s but made a fortune by starting a children's partyware business, called Party Pieces, in 1987.
MORNINGS often work like clockwork - get up, get ready and get breakfast - whilst reading the newspaper that has just been freshly churned, still warm from the press.
