The royal wedding.

Also expected boost to the economy of £500 million .

Just read that only the security amount was paid out of the public purse @ 7million for William & Kate.

So possibly not accurate?

The Express quoted £24m for security, and Will & Kate's security was about £20m

Where was this amount published?

Sorry meant as Paddyann’s post suggests

Going by an article I have just read, the cost is not 24 million, also it will apparently be paid for by several sources including the Royal Family it will also benefit the local area, business etc. Not saying it’s right or wrong but it certainly is not as one dimensional as the OP suggests.

Is that an official figure 24 million? I find that unbelievable & if correct unacceptable.

Really, shysal?
Is it still valid? Does he have to be wearing the policeman's cape?
I hope it's not like Shylock's pound of flesh. If any splashes on the policeman's boots, is it a crime?

Paddyann, Putin is a multi billionaire !

Some years ago a doctor friend took an ancient apothecary exam which gave him the right to urinate under a policeman's cape!

Why did you have the need to attack me Paddyann ?

24 MILLION of taxpayers money towards this wedding ...and school children in need lose their free meals ..that the kind of country you want to live in ? Not me ,time the medieval concept that is Royalty and lords and ladies and knights was all abolished .I suppose Annie will say I'm a communist now for thinking children should be put beofe these overprivileged waste of good air

Why is it that we never see indian or Pakistan beggers in the streets?

Be difficult climbing the gates Chewbacca ?

Is that right Annie? Bit late for me now but I'll let DIL know!

Not if your pregnant Chewbacca, you can urinate in any street you choose

However it IS legal if it is “against the rear offside wheel of your vehicle.”

I must remember that for the next time I’m caught short Maw
