It had been originally planned for the royal children to walk behind their parents, however, the pair remained between the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
There were many emotional moments during the moving ceremony with members of the royal family such as Charles, Prince Harry and the Earl and Countess of Wessex looking visibly moved during the service. Outside Westminster Abbey on the streets of London, members of the public gathered to witness the historical event.
