THE Queen looked happy and glorious as she arrived for the Royal Wedding this morning - with the 96-year-old Duke of Edinburgh bravely walking into St George's Chapel unaided.

Prince Philip only left hospital from hip surgery last month - and there was no guarantee he would be well enough to attend the ceremony.

The Queen was dressed in a summery light green coat and hat with purple flowers.

Her Maj walked on to sit at the very front of the chapel in Windsor Castle near Prince Harry and his best man, brother Prince William.


How the Royal Wedding has unfolded so far...


Prince Philip smiled and waved to spectators and looked sprightly despite his operation.

The Duke was sat directly behind the Queen and alongside grandson the Duke of Cambridge and Mike Tindall, husband of granddaughter Zara.

The Queen and and Prince Philip were among the last guests to arrive before the noon ceremony.

The first arrivals included Earl Spencer, Harry's uncle, along with his ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy, Kate's pregnant sister Pippa Middleton and mum Carole.

Marcus Mumford of Mumford and Sons, and Princess Diana's butler Paul Burrell were also snapped heading into the chapel today.

David Beckham looked dapper in a grey morning suit complete with waistcoast and tails, while wife Victoria wore a navy dress with long sleeves and bright red shoes as they posed with fans in Windsor.

Rugby royalty Jonny Wilkinson, James Haskell and Sir Clive Woodward are all in attendance today in a nod to Harry's role as head of the Rugby Football Union.

And Sarah Ferguson cast aside any speculation she would not be invited as she turned up for the service, wearing a dark navy dress.
