I'm not exactly a fan of weddings, but it was almost impossible to escape last week's knees-up at Windsor Castle with ball-by-ball coverage on the major cable stations. Horses, hats, castles, queens, princesses, lords and ladies, dukes and duchesses and Elton John. Even the weather behaved. The Brits still know how to put on a good show. At least it was more entertaining than the FA Cup final which followed.
The UK newspapers loved it and we got a taste of what we were in for when the Sun featured a pix of the bride-to-be with the headline "I'm Getting Harryed in the Morning". After that things could only improve and thankfully when the big day came the headlines were a bit more tasteful, if on the saccharine side. As the weekend progressed the Sun could not resist more painful puns including "Harry and Glorious" and "Making Kisstory".
Putting an Australian angle on the event was the Darwin-based newspaper Sunday Territorian which came up with "I now pronounce you Ginger Megs", a reference to the cartoon strip character Down Under.
