Prince William has arrived at Chester Cathedral ahead of the Duke of Westminster’s wedding to Olivia Henson as hundreds lined the street to catch a glimpse of the Prince.
Bunting and camping chairs line the streets outside the church as onlookers waited to see the Prince, who disembarked a blacked-out van with 10 other ushers just after 10:30am.
There were cheers from the gathered crowd once they realised it was the Prince of Wales, who is acting as an usher in today’s ceremony, but he slipped quietly inside the church through a side entrance without greeting those waiting.
