I think it's fantastic that we get to watch history in the making. In the not too distant future our pomp and ceremony will probably be a thing of the past so I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts. There's more than enough gritty gloom and doom around the rest of the year. Let the curmudgeons and moaners do their own thing for the day and leave the rest of us to wallow in the romance, history, tradition and ceremony of a memorable occasion.

These days we have hundreds of channels to watch if we so wish, so for those who don't want to see programmes about the wedding, a bit of channel hopping is all it takes to avoid it.
