Canterbury residents celebrating the Royal Wedding with 2 billion others!



The royal wedding is expected to attract an audience of over two billion people, with 180 road closures in Kent all ready for celebration.






On Friday 29th April, Prince William and Kate Middleton are to exchange vows in front of an expected audience of over 2 billion, making it one of the most watched events ever.

However, it will not just be the Royal Family celebrating. According to Street Parties there will be over 5500 official road closures in the United Kingdom, 180 of which will be in Kent.

Nicole Sullivan, 20, a student from Canterbury Christ Church told The Kentish Front: "I can't wait for the wedding and Kate's dress! We are having a street party with lots of traditional English food and alcohol, so it'll be fab to meet everyone else down our road and just have a good time!"

It won't just be students who will be taking advantage of the long weekend, but all the residents of Canterbury will be taking part in this historical day.

Mary Hayward, 81, who has lived in Canterbury her entire life said: "This is a really important day for the English people, everybody enjoys a wedding and especially a Royal Wedding. I will definitely be celebrating with my family."

With poor weather expected, many are hoping for a dry pleasant day which will go down in history.

Emma Locklear, 21, is catering for her friends and family travelling from Europe to Canterbury to celebrate the wedding together:
