Huge £ 20 million security operation swung into action hours before the wedding, the Royal Military Police and faced the threat of terrorists, anarchists, and stalkers.
Ring of steel was thrown around Westminster Abbey, where thousands of well-wishers gathered to look at the happy couple.
The armed police and secret Special Forces troops were mingled with the crowd to fight any attempt to disrupt the event. Arrows took up positions on rooftops along the ceremonial route, as search teams and sniffer dogs carried out a final inspection of vulnerable areas. More than 80 senior officials were given close protection bodyguards.
The police insisted they had no intelligence specific threat of terrorism, although the UK remains the second highest alert for an attack al-Qaeda and a substantial risk of attack from dissident Irish republicans.
More than 20 anarchists were arrested in raids on the premises, mostly squatting in London, Sussex and Cambridge shire. Among them, two men and a woman is planning to use a giant guillotine to behead a stuffed among the crowd outside the Abbey. Scotland Yard has warned he will start pre-emptive strike against any suspected violators.
