The Royal Wedding The Official Westminster Abbey Souvenir

This 40 page soft cover book (reminiscent of the older larger size Pitkin Pictorials) focuses on the royal wedding, the details and the ceremony seen by nearly a billion people around the world.   The text was written by James Wilkinson, who has written many Abbey publications.

The book also includes a chapter on earlier royal weddings at Westminster Abbey (omitting Princess Patricia of Connaught's wedding in 1919) from the Duke of York's marriage to Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon in 1923 to their grandson, Andrew's marriage to Sarah Ferguson in 1986.

This is a glossy paper publication complemented by a nice selection of color photographs.   The Royal Wedding The Official Westminster Abbey Souvenir is available on both sides of the Atlantic ($8.00/
£5.00).

This is one of the 'must have' royal wedding books because the detailed description of the wedding ceremony.
