Though judging by the apathetic reaction on here, with even the ardent royalists apparently prefering to watch the wedding in the comfort of their own homes, it'll be interessting to see just how many street parties there'll be in Hyndburn.
The vast majority of people are objecting to money being spent on a programme of civic celebrations, that we are told will centre around the Market Hall.
Big difference.
