The Royal Wedding




The wedding of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Catherine Middleton took place on Friday, 29 April 2011 at Westminster Abbey in London. Prince William, second in the line of succession to Queen Elizabeth II, first met Catherine Middleton in 2001, while both were studying at St. Andrews University. Their engagement, which began on 20 October 2010, was announced on 16 November 2010.





The build-up to the wedding and the occasion itself attracted much media attention, with the service broadcast live around the world, and with it being compared and contrasted in many ways to the 1981 marriage of William's parents, Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. It was watched by a global television audience of over two billion. Much of the attention focused on Middleton's status as a commoner (i.e., not of royal blood or a part of the aristocracy) marrying into royalty. Hours before the service, William was granted the titles of the Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn, and Baron Carrickfergus by the Queen. Upon her marriage, Middleton therefore became Her Royal Highness Princess William Arthur Philip Louis, Duchess of Cambridge, Countess of Strathearn, Baroness Carrickfergus, but is not styled as 'Princess Catherine'.

As William was not the heir-apparent to the throne, the wedding was not a full state occasion, with many details left to the couple themselves to decide, such as much of the the guest list of about 1,900. It was, however, a public holiday in Great Britain and featured many ceremonial aspects, including use of the state carriages and roles for the Foot Guards and Household Cavalry. It was attended by most of the Royal Family, as well as many foreign royals, diplomats, and the couple's chosen personal guests.

Middleton wore a white dress with a 270-centimetre (110 in) train, by British designer Sarah Burton, as well as a tiara lent to her by the Queen. William wore the uniform of his honorary rank of Colonel of the Regiment for the Irish Guards. William's best man was his brother, Prince Harry, while the bride's sister, Pippa, acted as her maid of honour. The wedding ceremony began at 11:00 am BST (UTC+1). John Robert Hall, the Dean of Westminster, officiated most of the service, with Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, conducting the marriage ceremony itself and Richard Chartres, the Bishop of London, giving the sermon. A reading was also given by the bride's brother, James. After the ceremony, the newly married couple travelled in procession to Buckingham Palace for the traditional appearance on the balcony and a flypast before crowds assembled in The Mall.

The new Duchess of Cambridge's gorgeous Alexander McQueen gown, designed by Creative Director Sarah Burton, had elegant lace sleeves – a formal touch befitting the venue, Westminster Abbey. The lace appliqué was hand-made by the Royal School of Needlework using the Carrickmacross lace-making technique, which served as her "something old."


With millions watching, Prince William manages to share a private laugh with his soon-to-be missus as she arrives at the altar with dad Michael by her side.


Prince William and Kate Middleton make their debut as husband and wife in the Abbey with their best man and maid of honor trailing closely behind.


Now introducing, HRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge! William and Kate make their storied exit from Westminster Abbey hand-in-hand, with their gaggle of bridesmaids and pageboys following close behind.


Though Prince William struggled a bit to slip it on, Catherine's wedding ring is a perfect fit for the new Duchess, who blends traditions with modern flair. Wartski created the simple band from a piece of Welsh gold given to the Prince by his grandmother, HRH Queen Elizabeth II.


Making her grand debut earlier that morning, the bride-to-be and her father arrive from the Goring Hotel in a burgundy-and-black Rolls-Royce Phantom VI instead of a customary carriage. "Catherine opted for a slightly lower-key arrival.


Riding past the Cenotaph once more, William pays his respects with a salute while Kate bows her head.


In a carriage fit for a queen or a newly minted duchess, Kate Middleton leaves Westminster Abbey with her Prince in a 109-year-old State Landau carriage. Originally crafted in 1902 for King Edward VII, the open-air coach also carried the groom's parents, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, to Buckingham Palace after their 1981 nuptials.

Prince Harry joins bridesmaid Lady Louise Windsor, 7, (daughter of Harry's Uncle Edward) for a carriage ride en route to Buckingham Palace.


Maid of honor Pippa Middleton (the bride's younger sister) and bridesmaid Hon. Margarita Armstrong-Jones, 8, flash their dazzling smiles during their post-wedding procession.


It's double happiness for William and Kate, who kiss not once but twice on the balcony at Buckingham Palace – much to the delight of the crowd gathered below. William's mum and dad shared their first public kiss at the same spot 30 years earlier.


The couple – along with bridesmaids Grace van Cutsem, 3, and the Hon. Margarita Armstrong-Jones, 8 – look to the skies as William's royal air force pals fly over the balcony. Later in the evening, wedding guests will feast on canapés and cake at the Queen's reception.


Giving their well-wishers more of what they want, William and Kate step out from their reception to drive around Buckingham Palace in an Aston Martin convertible bearing the license plate "JU5T WED." Making their way around the Mall, the beaming bride smiled and waved while her groom kept an eye on the road – the front of the car bore a red letter "L," standing for "learner's permit."


The newlyweds drive out of Buckingham Palace in an Aston Martin convertible to mingle with their well-wishers following their history-making kiss. The vintage car featured a license plate that read "JU5T WED" and a red "L" on the front, short for "learner's permit."

BBC Learning - Supernatural Science


The paranormal has fascinated believers and irritated sceptics for decades. The series uses archive video, expert interview, dramatic reconstruction and personal testimony to demystify strange phenomena and explore popular mythology in terms of current scientific understanding.


Includes Six Episodes

1. Lake Monsters

2. Open to Suggestion

3. Spontaneous Human Combustion

4. Electric Hands

5. Previous Lives

6. Physical Feats



1. Lake Monsters

Scotland’s Loch Ness Monster has eluded searchers for decades. Other reports of “sea serpents” have come from lakes in Norway and the U.S. Do Jurassic beasts haunt these waters? Or have witnesses been fooled by optical illusions and hoaxes?

2. Open to Suggestion

The power of suggestion can be used to assist medical treatment, or to indoctrinate cult victims. This program examines the consequences of using – and abusing – this little-understood power.

3. Spontaneous Human Combustion

Can the human body just burst into flame? Bizarre deaths caused by spontaneous human combustion have been reported for more than a century. Recently, forensic scientists have begun to develop a compelling explanation for this phenomenon.

4. Electric Hands

Dowsing is one of the oldest sciences, used to locate everything from freshwater springs to missing persons. It is also part of the panoply of alternative therapies. Medical dowsers move their hands over patients to diagnose and even heal illnesses. Many doctors ridicule the practice. But there are those who believe “therapeutic touch” has real benefits.

5. Previous Lives

Channelers and mediums claim the ability to communicate with the dead. Scientists remain skeptical. But some researchers have come across a baffling phenomenon: young children with extraordinary knowledge of people who died before they were even born.

6. Physical Feats

The body is capable of incredible feats, some of which defy explanation. How, for example, can Tibetan monks sleep outdoors in freezing temperatures? This program reveals what these feats tell us about the real limits of human anatomy and psychology.

Walking With Dinasours


Broadcast in 1999, Walking with Dinosaurs set out to create the most accurate portrayal of prehistoric animals ever seen on the screen. Combining fact and informed speculation with cutting-edge computer graphics and animatronics effects, the series took two years to make.


Dinosaurs were the dominant land animals for 160 million years, making them one of the most successful groups of animals ever. The name dinosaur translates as 'terrible or wondrous lizards' and they certainly evolved in a diverse range of sizes and shapes, from the gigantic plant-eating sauropods to the quick meat-eating tyrannosaurs. They also sported an impressive array of body modifications including horns, scales and crests. So far, the remains of over 1,000 different dinosaur species have been identified from fossils though technically, birds are feathered dinosaurs, meaning dinosaurs aren't really extinct at all.

COKE vs PEPSI : A Duel Between Giants


An all-American saga born amidst the ruins of the American Civil War, a saga of a hundred-year-old war between two economic giants whose financial weight can be calculated in the billions.

The competitive struggle between these two brands has come to embody the very spirit of America and its influence on the rest of the world. This incredible and sometimes disturbing success story is at times cynical, often heroic, and always fascinating.

Neither Coke nor Pepsi wished to officially participate in this documentary which chronicles their long standing combat. The two marketing and communication giants usually choose to remain discreet, unless it involves promoting their own product.

Along with Mark Prendergrast, the unofficial ‘biographer’ of Coca- Cola, several industry players (former directors, ad execs, collectors etc) describe how the war between the two titans has echoed our economic history over the decades, sometimes even making history of its own, such as when Coke’s ambitions spilled into Communist Chinaor when Pepsi decided to use Soviet leader Krushchev as a publicity icon without his knowledge.

Anecdotes and archives bring the Pepsi v Coke epic to life and reveal often controversial and underhanded strategies, such as the brands’ multi-milion campaigns to secure exclusive distribution deals in certain towns and schools.

The war between the two rivals today has crossed into new territory, like the bottled water market, but still remains faithful to its original goal: appealing to young people the world over. Many have claimed that ‘Coke’ is the second best known word all around the world after OK.

The leader, Coke, and its ever present challenger Pepsi are united in one all consuming objective:that whatever the world drinks, be it soft drinks , fruit juice or bottled juice - may it be a product from their respective factories.

Wikirebels - The Documentary


In less than a year Wikileaks has grown from a rather obscure website to a global political player, shaping world history and events, by revealing secret documents about warcrimes, corporate corruption and shady political backdoor dealings. Over several months a crew from Swedish Television has been following the secretive media network and its work behind the scenes. The result is a one hour feature documentary that tells the story behind the story.

The Lost Tomb Of Jesus


Has the tomb of Jesus Christ been found? With the help of archaeologists, DNA analysts, biblical scholars and statisticians, join Academy award-winning filmmaker, James Cameron as he follows the trail of clues that could lead to the greatest discovery of all time. This gripping two-hour special sheds new light on the story of one very well-known family.

This forensic investigation takes you on a journey to find what could be the most coveted tomb in history. In 1980, archaeologists from the Israeli Antiquities Authority excavated a tomb containing ten ossuaries with the bones of what could have been one family. Among these lime-stone boxes, several inscriptions were found with unbelievable biblically connected names including "Jesus, son of Joseph," two "Mary's," and "Judah, son of Jesus."

This unprecedented documentary includes dramatic recreations, based on the latest historical evidence, illustrating accurate images of Jesus of Nazareth, his family, his followers, his ministry, his crucifixion and his entombment.

Part archaeological adventure, part Biblical history, part forensic science, part theological controversy – this is a story that will be carried around the world.
