Couple attend final rehearsal ceremony

BRITAIN’S Prince William and Kate Middleton made a rare pre-wedding appearance last night as they attended a rehearsal for their nuptials at Westminster Abbey.

Excitement around the wedding has grown over the last 24 hours, with hundreds of tourists flocking to the abbey where die-hard royalists have pitched about 30 tents in a bid to claim the best spot on the big day.

Miss Middleton’s parents, Michael and Carole, took part in the rehearsal after leaving their Berkshire property earlier in the day and driving to London to stay at the exclusive Goring hotel in Belgravia — their home for the next three nights.
