MILLIONS watched as Lacock bride Camilla Parker Bowles finally got her prince on Saturday.

Ms Parker Bowles, of Ray Mill House, Reybridge became HRH Duchess of Cornwall Camilla Windsor when she married Prince Charles.

Among the 800 guests invited to the wedding included her gardener Paul Swinden and his wife Judith, of Reybridge.

Mr Swinden travelled up to the Windsor Guildhall to wish Camilla good luck after spending the past nine years as a loyal gardener and handy-man.

He declined an interview with the Chippenham News but said: "She is a very private person and I don't wish to breach that trust. I think she is a lovely person and very pleased she remembered us on her special day."

The new Duchess of Cornwall and Reybridge resident is now the second most senior royal after The Queen.

Her oyster silk basket-weave coat and chiffon dress proved a hit at the civil ceremony in Windsor Guildhall.

Amelia Hanratty, of bridal shop Amelia Classics, in The Causeway, Chippenham, said: "I thought the dress was really nice and lovely for her age group. But we loved the fact it was very 'now'.

"The fascinations on the hat were very fashionable. When you get married a second time you worry about being mutton dressed as lamb and a good way round that is to cover your arms, which she did.

"I think she looked absolutely beautiful."

In Lacock many who were not invited to the big wedding were happy to sit at home and watch one of their neighbours marry into the Royal Family on television.

The Rev Sally Wheeler, of St Cyriacs Church in Lacock, said: "It was a very dignified service and a lovely family feel about the wedding and the blessing.

"I'm just delighted they can now move forward and hope people will support them.

"Lots of things in life don't go as we should like them to but the Christian message is forgiveness."

Canadians Anne Palmer and Jane Hand, 42, were determined to see the Royal couple and set off together from Warminster at 4am on Saturday morning. They were two of the first to set up camp outside Windsor Guildhall.

Mrs Hand said: "We have seen all the weddings, just on the TV, but usually we have to get up so early in the morning to see them.

"Here we are getting up early but this is different.''

The Duchess of Cornwall moved to her £850,000 home in Reybridge nine years ago and has regularly donated gifts for village fetes and St Cyriac's Church.

After the service, blessing and reception the Royal couple have spent this week on honeymoon on the Balmoral estate in Scotland.
