Details of Royal Wedding confirmed
The wedding between the Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker-Bowles will take place on Saturday afternoon at 12:30 GMT.
A church blessing at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle at 14:30 GMT, conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, will follow the civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall.
A reception will follow the church blessing. It has been reported that the couple intends to leave around 18:00 GMT.
Three other civil weddings are due to take place at the Guildhall on Saturday, with the first one after the Royal Wedding taking place at 14:00 GMT. However, Clarence House has stressed that there will be no disruption to other weddings.
It was announced yesterday that the Royal Wedding, which was due to take place on Friday, would be postponed until Saturday, because of the funeral of Pope John Paul II.
The Prince and Mrs Parker-Bowles decided to postpone the wedding as a mark of respect to the Pope. Prince Charles will attend the Pope's funeral, which takes place in Rome on Friday morning, joining the Archbishop of Canterbury and Prime Minister Tony Blair, who has also been invited to the wedding.
The postponement of the wedding was the latest in a long line of problems to befall the Royal Wedding since the Prince and Mrs Parker-Bowles announced their engagement on February 10. These included a row over whether or not Camilla would be known as Queen; the venue having to be changed from Windsor Castle to the Guildhall; the Queen's decision not to attend the civil ceremony: and questions being raised over the legality of Royals marrying in a civil ceremony.

Legal objections to Royal Wedding dismissed
The Royal Wedding between the Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker Bowles will go ahead as planned after the Registrar General dismissed eleven legal objections. The reason for the objections was that the 1949 Marriage Act prohibited members of the Royal Family from marrying in a registrar office.
