Princess Diana and Prince Charles walking down the isle being watched by both families
Princess Diana and Prince Charles walking down the isle being watched by both families after their wedding ceremony.
There were 3, 500 people in the congregation at St Pauls Cathedral. It was held at St Pauls rather than Westminster Abbey because St Pauls offered more seating and permits a longer procession through the streets of London. The service was a traditional Church of England wedding service, presided over by the Most Reverend Robert Runcie, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Very Reverend Alan Webster, the Dean of St. Pauls Cathedral. Some say 750 million people watched the ceremony worldwide, and this figure allegedly rose to a billion when the radio audience is added in, however, there are no means of verifying these figures. Two million spectators lined the route of Dianas procession from Clarence House, with 4, 000 police and 2, 201 military officers to manage the crowds.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing a historic moment: Princess Diana and Prince Charles walk down the aisle, watched by both families, after their grand wedding ceremony at St Paul's Cathedral. The year was 1981, and this iconic photograph from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to that unforgettable day. With 3,500 people filling the congregation of St Paul's Cathedral, it was a sight to behold. The decision to hold the ceremony at St Paul's rather than Westminster Abbey allowed for more seating and a longer procession through the streets of London. Led by the Most Reverend Robert Runcie, Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Very Reverend Alan Webster, Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral, it was a traditional Church of England wedding service. The global fascination with this royal union is evident in staggering estimates - some claim that around 750 million people worldwide tuned in to witness this joyous occasion on television alone. When factoring in radio listenership as well, these figures allegedly rose to an astonishing billion viewers. As Diana made her way from Clarence House to St Paul's Cathedral amidst two million spectators lining her route, she was accompanied by an impressive security presence consisting of 4,000 police officers and 2,201 military personnel ensuring order among enthusiastic crowds. This print serves as a cherished reminder of one of history's most celebrated weddings – an event that captivated hearts across nations.
