What part will pop play in next year's royal wedding? As dedicated denizens of Boujis and Mahiki, Wills and Kate will surely want some bands to perform at the do. Little is known about the couple's taste in music (which no doubt means that they don't have any), but a friend of a friend saw them getting down to BodyRockers' risible I Like the Way You Move and, perhaps more susprisingly, Primal Scream's Rocks at Tom Parker Bowles's wedding a few years ago. So will Harry invite Dizzee Rascal to play? Will James Blunt come armed with his guitar? Will Duran Duran turn up in a nod to the fact that they were Diana's favourite band? Will Elton John, who performed at Diana's funeral, feature on the bill and land himself another chart-topping single? What are your tips?
