Comment
In common with other recent royal weddings in London (29 April 2011) and Edinburgh (30 July 2011), the Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Windsor Castle) Regulations 2018 impose restrictions on flights in the vicinity of Windsor Castle on 19th and 20th May.
Those following the service might be interested in Presiding Bishop Bingo, produced by the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth, comprising frequently used phrases of the Presiding Bishop, the Most Revd Michael Curry.
