The moment will give Harry the chance to acknowledge the 200 representatives from charities he is associated with gathered in the Horseshoe Cloister at the bottom of the steps.

11.55-11.59:

Following protocol, the Queen will be the last member of the royal family to arrive for the wedding service.

11.59:

Ms Markle arrives at the Chapel's West Steps by car, from her overnight accommodation, with some of her bridesmaids and pageboys.

She will start her journey, which will take her past some of the crowds in the Long Walk, with her mother Doria Ragland - but when the car stops at the castle her mother will exchange places with her bridesmaids and pageboys.

Ms Ragland will enter the chapel by the Galilee Porch and in the absence of Meghan's father Thomas Markle Prince Charles will escort Meghan up the aisle as the ceremony begins.
