Prince and Kate to marry April 29 at Westminster

BRITAIN’S Prince William and Kate Middleton will marry in Westminster Abbey on Friday, April 29, next year and millions of workers and schoolchildren will get the day off.

The couple were said to be “completely over the moon” after getting the spring wedding they wanted in a venue they chose for its “staggering beauty” and 1,000-year royal history.

Downing Street announced that April 29 would be an extra public holiday, meaning many people would enjoy two four-day weekends in-a-row.
