Yesterday we witnessed the historic union of Prince William , grandson of Her Majesty , Queen Elizabeth the second, and Katherine Middleton -- better known as Kate .
But , from now on , to be known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge . Duke William is second in line to the throne , after his father Charles .
The entire ceremony was watched by two billion viewers world wide .
Did your country allow it to be seen in its entirety and , if not , Why ?
The ceremony showed everything that was great about Great Britain and England specifically .
It demonstrated once again how a Monarchy can live alongside a democratically elected Government in perfect harmony . And , in fact , allows that very marriage -- Church and State , to be much more than the sum of its two individual parts .
It was the most marvellous of State productions as it presented Western achievement in all of its glory -- the History , its modern face and the great pomp and majesty of a nation presenting its true identity through its ceremony , style and grand taste .
And , of course , it gave everybody a Fairy Tale -- a so called Commoner marrying into the royal line .
The day was blessed by good weather and anybody witnessing the world assembly in a stunning cathedral , supported by heavenly music and a feast of ceremonial splendour , could not help being moved to the depths of their soul .
Somehow , yesterday's great historic marking point symbolised all that can be achieved when people work over centuries to produce a state that tries to improve the life of anybody and everybody in its land .It clearly showed the heights that human beings can reach and attain .
For a day at least , it showed that what we have fought for over the centuries is uniquely special and that the rewards of success are breathtaking and life enhancing .
It reminds us that getting through troubles does have a wonderful conclusion if we hold on to good and wise standards and practises , wherever possible .
