Princess Diana and Prince Charles after their wedding ceremony
Princess Diana and Prince Charles after their wedding ceremony.
There were 3, 500 people in the congregation at St Pauls Cathedral. It was held at St Pauls rather than Westminster Abbey because St Pauls offered more seating and permits a longer procession through the streets of London. The service was a traditional Church of England wedding service, presided over by the Most Reverend Robert Runcie, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Very Reverend Alan Webster, the Dean of St. Pauls Cathedral. Some say 750 million people watched the ceremony worldwide, and this figure allegedly rose to a billion when the radio audience is added in, however, there are no means of verifying these figures. Two million spectators lined the route of Dianas procession from Clarence House, with 4, 000 police and 2, 201 military officers to manage the crowds.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this iconic print is the radiant couple, Princess Diana and Prince Charles, moments after their grand wedding ceremony. The historic event took place on July 29th, 1981 at St Paul's Cathedral, where a staggering congregation of 3,500 people gathered to witness the union of two beloved figures. This majestic cathedral was chosen over Westminster Abbey due to its larger seating capacity and allowed for an extended procession through the streets of London. The traditional Church of England service was officiated by the Most Reverend Robert Runcie, Archbishop of Canterbury, alongside the Very Reverend Alan Webster, Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral. It is estimated that a remarkable 750 million individuals worldwide tuned in to watch this momentous occasion unfold; when factoring in radio listenership as well, this number potentially soared to an astounding billion viewers. As Princess Diana embarked on her regal journey from Clarence House towards her new life with Prince Charles, she was met with immense adoration from two million spectators lining the route. To ensure safety and order amidst such overwhelming crowds, a diligent team consisting of 4,000 police officers and 2,201 military personnel were deployed. This photograph encapsulates not only the splendor and opulence surrounding royal weddings but also serves as a poignant reminder of a love story that captivated hearts across the globe.
