“What a beautiful day it was,” said Theresa Harwood, who co-organised a street party in Warren Close, Hatfield. “You couldn’t ask for better weather, it just adds to the whole spirit of things. We had such a lovely turnout.”
At Jimmy Mac’s centre in Hatfield, guests were greeted with the full red carpet treatment, with bubbly, royal masks, plus cardboard cut-outs of Meghan and Harry.
Meanwhile, the Birdcage Bridal Boutique in Welwyn Garden City reminded its customers that it’s not only Meghan and Harry who can have a fairytale wedding, offering a 20 per cent discount for any dresses sold on the day of its royal wedding event.
Friday May 18 saw several schools join in the celebrations.
