Famous musicians in attendance included Elton John and James Blunt.

It was confirmed this morning that Prince Harry, who is sixth in line for the British throne, has gained the title of the Duke of Sussex ahead of the wedding.

His new wife, meanwhile, will become the Duchess of Sussex.

In a statement yesterday, the Royal Family said: "Like any couple getting married, Prince Harry and M. Markle have taken a great deal of care in selecting all elements for their service.

"This has been a collaborative effort led by Prince Harry and Ms. Markle."
