People.com : Cinderella, move over. The fairy-tale aspect of the Royal Wedding was cranked up an extra notch for the procession to Buckingham Palace following the main ceremony and the exchanging of vows at Westminster Abbey.
The freshly ennobled Duke and Duchess of Cambridge boarded a 109-year-old State Landau carriage and rode from the Abbey, past Parliament Square, through Whitehall and down the Mall atop a red tarmac that gave the appearance of a red carpet.
They boarded the carriage at 12:15 p.m. London time, held hands and smiled at one another before beginning their nearly 10-minute ride. Within moments, the roar of the crowd along the route could be heard all the way at the palace.
