An interview with a royal photographer
John Powell, a retired photographer, has taken pictures of royalty, presidents and celebrities.
Feature: The experience of a Royal Wedding - Complete with photographs, video, audio, tweets and links
It all started with a 5.25am train departing from Canterbury West. The difficulty of waking up at 4am was soon forgotten as I saw a group of men dressed up as nuns boarding the same train as me to St Pancras. Unsurprisingly, the train was far from empty and jovial strangers carrying beer, champagne and wine bottles were all seen on my journey into central London.
By the time I arrived at The Mall, thousands of people had already gained a spot from which to watch the festivities. Even before 7 o'clock, people were descending upon that 2-mile area of the capital. Faces stretched as far as the eye could see.

Kara from Australia had been on The Mall since 3am on Friday morning. She booked a flight to come to London six months ago and was lucky that she happened to be in the city on the day of the wedding.
