That's all for the blog this week folks. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed.

While I'm away next week we'll have a reduced service on the blog, but will be back to normal just ahead of the election on 5 May, which I'm planning to live blog from throughout the night.

In the meantime, there's lots happening in the city during the break, including Ceilidh Culture on Castle Street, the Musselburgh Racecourse Easter weekend and events at the Scottish Storytelling Centre. Find out the details on The Edinburgh Reporter's round-up.

If you have children in-tow, check out Edinburgh Spotlight's comprehensive list of Easter holiday events for families.

Rebecca Gordon has a run-down of all the royal wedding events in town, including the anti-monarchy protest, on STV Local.

As well as the events some of our readers put in the comments section this morning, somebody decided to translate the morning round-up blog post into German!

Most council services and facilities will be operating as normal throughout the Easter week. There are changes to the library opening times and of course school holidays. Full details here.

Lothian Buses are running Saturday services today, tomorrow and Monday. Details here.

That leaves me to say have a great break if you have the bank holiday weekend to enjoy in the sun, presuming the haar lifts. As ever, feel free to leave details of what you're up to in comments section.
