Royal wedding 2018: Schedule and timings for Harry and Meghan's big day

Posted: 12 May 2018 06:18 PM PDT

Royal wedding 2018: Schedule and timings for Harry and Meghan's big dayThe Royal wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry is now just over a week away, which means the final preparations for the big day will no doubt be being tweaked and polished as you read. The ceremony, which takes place on Saturday May 19, will be held in Windsor; it will include two wedding receptions and a carriage procession, as well as the service. Prince Harry and Ms Markle have broken tradition by choosing to hold their wedding on a Saturday, as royal weddings usually take place during the week.  The wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge was held on a Friday and the wedding of the Prince of Wales and Diana, Princess of Wales was held on a Wednesday; on both occasions the public were given an extra bank holiday. While Downing Street have said there are no plans to give Britons a day off for this year's royal nuptials, pubs and bars will be allowed to stay open until 1am on Friday May 18 and the day of the wedding itself. Amber Rudd, the former Home Secretary, opened a consultation on the plans in January. She said: "The Royal wedding will be a time of national celebration, and we want everyone to be able to make the most of such an historic occasion. "I hope that this relaxation of the licensing hours will allow people to extend their festivities and come together to mark what will be a very special moment for the country." Here is everything you need to know about how the big day will unfold. WATCH:  How Diana, the in-laws and Prince Louis will fit into the Royal Wedding The service The service will take place at St George's Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle, which last hosted a royal wedding in May 2008 when Peter Phillips - son of The Princess Royal - married Autumn Kelly. Prince Edward also wed Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, there in June 1999; plus Prince Harry was christened there in 1984 by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie. Members of the public who have been invited to watch from the grounds of Windsor Castle will  begin to arrive from 9am. Guests will arrive between 9:30am and 11am by coach. Two driving routes have been suggested, with guests required to meet at the Windsor Farm Shop – founded in 2001 after the Duke of Edinburgh had an idea to support local businesses by selling produce. There, three miles away from the venue, guests will be put through security checks and asked to show identification; they will then be ushered onto buses to travel to Windsor Castle, where they will alight at the castle's Round Tower and enter the chapel through the south door. Instructions reportedly sent to the guests ban cameras and bulky bags, adding that guests will be asked to "surrender mobile telephones and any devices used for image capture". The rules further specify that guests should not wear medals, in a list of suggestions about accessories that includes: "No swords." At 11:20am, members of the Royal Family will arrive and enter the chapel through the Galilee Porch. Some will arrive in state car from the Royal Mews, including Bentleys, Rolls-Royces and Daimlers. A view of the Quire in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will have their wedding service Credit:  WPA Pool Prince Harry and his brother and best man the Duke of Cambridge are expected to arrive at the chapel's west steps at 11:45am.  It is assumed they will enter the grounds on foot, giving Prince Harry the opportunity to walk past the crowds in the grounds. He will pass 200 representatives from charities he is associated with, who are expected to gather in the horseshoe cloister at the bottom of the steps. The Queen will be the final member of the Royal Family to arrive for the service, and is expected at 11:55am. The service will begin at 12pm, with Ms Markle due to arrive at the chapel's west steps at 11:59am. She has chosen her mother, Doria, to travel with her to the wedding, travelling from their overnight accommodation to St George's Chapel by car. The decision breaks with UK tradition, which usually sees the bride travel with her father before he gives her away in the wedding ceremony. Instead, Ms Markle wanted to include both parents in her wedding day. When the car stops at the castle, her mother will exchange places with the bridesmaids and pageboys. Ms Ragland will enter the chapel by the Galilee Porch. The most beautiful royal wedding dresses of all time Meghan's father will meet her at the chapel's west door, before walking her down the aisle. The traditional ceremony will be conducted by the Dean of Windsor, The Rt Revd. David Conner while the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, will officiate as the couple make their marriage vows.  Under the guidance of Harry's private secretary, Edward Lane Fox, the Lord Chamberlain's Office is dealing with the ceremonial aspects of the day. It is assumed that Ms Markle is unlikely to opt to obey the prince and will probably choose the Series One (1966) Book of Common Prayer ceremony, just as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge did. This allows the bride to drop the phrases "obey him" and "serve him" from the religious proceedings. Harry must decide whether to wear a wedding ring; William does not wear one. The regiments Prince Harry served with in Afghanistan will also have a "special place" during the ceremony. Household Cavalry troopers will line the staircase at St George's Chapel, while streets within the precincts of the castle will be lined by members of the Windsor Castle Guard from 1st Battalion Irish Guards, and by Armed Forces personnel from the Royal Navy Small Ships and Diving, which has the Prince as Commodore-in-Chief, and the Royal Marines, where he is Captain General. The 3 Regiment Army Air Corps, where Prince Harry served as an Apache Pilot in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, will also be represented, as well as The Royal Gurkha Rifles, his comrades in Afghanistan in 2007, and RAF Honington, where he is Honorary Air Commandant. Royal wedding | Read more The procession The service will end at 1pm and the newlyweds will leave the chapel at the west steps, before leaving the castle by carriage.  Prince Harry and Ms Markle will be driven for two miles along Castle Hill, the High Street and into Windsor town centre before returning along the beautiful, tree-lined Long Walk for their reception. Kensington Palace has said: "Prince Harry and Ms Markle are very much looking forward to this short journey which they hope will be a memorable moment for everyone who has gathered together in Windsor to enjoy the atmosphere of this special day." While we don't know for sure how long the procession will take, a similar procession in 1999 by Edward and Sophie took 15 minutes. The best photo opportunity will be the West Steps of St George's Chapel, when the bride and groom and their families emerge after the service. If you are lucky enough to be in Windsor on the day, head for the grass of the Horseshoe Cloisters opposite those steps for the view. The Ascot Landau open carriage stands in the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace in London Credit: Victoria Jones The newlyweds will make their journey through Windsor in an open-topped Ascot Landau carriage, Kensington Palace has confirmed. It is the same carriage Prince Harry used in the procession at the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, when he was surrounded by small bridesmaids and page boys. Crown Equerry Colonel Toby Browne, who runs the royal mews where the carriage was selected, said: "The fair weather option, the Ascot Landau, it was selected because it's a wonderfully bright, small, lovely carriage. Very easy for people to see, the passengers can sit up quite high - so there's lots of visibility for everybody. "It was built in 1883, it's one of five that we have, most of them are down in Windsor, we always keep one in London for occasions." If it rains on the wedding day, the wet weather option is the Scottish State Coach. Built in 1830, a new top was created in 1969 with large windows and a partial glass roof, to allow spectators to see the passengers. Six horses, Windsor Greys, will be included the procession ride. A team of four, Milford Haven, Plymouth and father and son Storm and Tyrone, will pull the Landau and two others - Sir Basil and Londonderry - will be outriders. All have been involved in high profile events before, including the Spanish state visit last year, Royal Ascot, Trooping the Colour, the State Opening of Parliament and the Lord Mayor's Show.  Map of the route Wedding route The receptions They will be waved off by members of both families and the congregation will leave the chapel to see the newlyweds leave, before going to St George's Hall for the lunchtime reception hosted by the Queen. While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are touring Windsor, guests from the congregation will wait for the happy couple in St George's Hall to celebrate the first of the day's two receptions. This will be hosted by the Queen, will take place during the afternoon and will be attended by all guests who were invited to the service. Invitations have been posted to 600 lucky guests; royal sources have said the guest list has been restricted to those who have a direct relationship with the couple, both because St George's Chapel is relatively small and because the prince is not in the direct line of succession. Some members of the public have received an invitation to wait in the grounds outside the chapel to watch the bride and groom and their wedding guests arrive and leave. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at Frogmore House Credit:  REUTERS From 7pm, a select 200 close friends will attend an after party hosted by the Prince of Wales at Frogmore House, Windsor. Half a mile away from Windsor Castle, the 17th century Grade I country house is owned by the Crown Estate and is part of the Frogmore Estate on the ground of the Home Park. Prince Harry and Ms Markle's engagement photos were taken in the grounds of Frogmore House. The images were taken by photographer Alexi Lubomirski, who has also been chosen to take the photographs on the wedding day.  Lubomirski, the British-born son of Peruvian-English mother and a Polish-French father, also happens to be a Prince himself: his full title is His Serene Highness Prince Alexi Lubomirski. It is expected that member of the Royal family, Ms Markle's family and intimate friends of both the newlyweds will be at the evening reception – although Princess Charlotte and Prince George will no doubt have been put to bed after their big day in the limelight. Royal wedding | Read more Will Prince William be at the FA Cup? It has been announced that Prince William will be Prince Harry's best man. The decision means the Duke, who is President of the Football Association, will not attend the FA Cup final, which is happening on the same day as the wedding. Scheduled to start at 17:15, the FA Cup final will see Chelsea and Manchester United go head to head for the title. Windsor Castle is about an hour's drive from Wembley Stadium, which would have taken the Duke of Cambridge away from the proceedings for at least two hours. Asked how he felt about being chosen as Prince Harry's best man, the Duke said: "It feels great. [I am] thrilled and delighted obviously. Revenge is sweet. I'll be looking forward to it." The Duke's own stag do is reported to have been held on a Devon estate, Hartland Abbey, where he and close friends indulged in drinking, clay pigeon shooting, surfing and games. Prince Harry went on to tease his brother mercilessly during a none-the-less heartfelt best man's speech at the wedding reception, allegedly wearing a fez, mimicking the lovestruck conversations between a young Kate and William, and ridiculing his bald spot.

Israel destroys Gaza tunnel as US prepares to open Jerusalem embassy

Posted: 13 May 2018 07:58 AM PDT

Israel destroys Gaza tunnel as US prepares to open Jerusalem embassyDonald Trump's daughter Ivanka arrived in Israel on Sunay for the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem hours after the Israeli Defence Forces destroyed a tunnel near the main pedestrian crossing of the Gaza strip. Along with her husband, Jared Kushner, she will lead the American delegation on Monday to mark the controversial decision to move US operations from Tel Aviv. The transfer has angered Palestinian leaders, who claim East Jerusalem as the capital of a future state. Ahead of the ceremony, a military spokesman said air strikes had destroyed a one-kilometre tunnel built by the militant group Hamas and which had been tracked for weeks before being destroyed just inside the Gaza fence. "Hamas is spreading messages of its desire for a long-term ceasefire but actually digs terror tunnels into the territory of the State of Israel. We're not buying this bluff. We will continue, like this evening, to strike the terror infrastructure," said Avigdor Liberman, Israeli Defence Minister, on Twitter on Saturday. The same day, the Israeli military announced the closure of the main cargo crossing along the same border after demonstrations inside the Strip caused extensive damage to the crossing.  Ivanka Trump greets US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman upon her arrival at the Ben Gurion International Airport Credit:  HANDOUT/ REUTERS More than $9m (£6.6m) worth of damage was wrought during Friday's protest, including the destruction of the Kerem Shalom crossing's main fuel and gas lines, which bring in cooking gas and diesel for hospital generators. Shortages are now imminent. The Israeli military has long blamed Hamas for inciting violence and military response, thereby perpetuating shortages in the blockaded Strip. "Hamas continues to lead the residents of Gaza to destroy the only assistance they receive," the army said of the damage wrought at Kerem Shalom. Hamas said in a statement that it would not be deterred, even by Israeli airstrikes: "The Israeli bombardment of the northern Gaza Strip is a miserable and failed attempt to prevent the participation of our masses in the major 'March of Return' and to break the siege on May 14th." Tensions have been roiling along the Gaza border fence in the lead-up to 14 May, the 70th anniversary of the Nakba, or catastrophe, wherein the Palestinian population was forcibly moved during the creation of the state of Israel. Since the demonstrations began on March 30, 42 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire and at least another 1,800 wounded.

Paris knifeman Khamzat Azimov shot dead by police after killing one and injuring four 'is Chechen-born'

Posted: 13 May 2018 05:07 AM PDT

Paris knifeman Khamzat Azimov shot dead by police after killing one and injuring four 'is Chechen-born'The suspected terrorist who stabbed a man to death and injured four other people with a knife in central Paris on Saturday evening was a Chechen-born French citizen on a terror watchlist. Named on Sunday as Khamzat Azimov, 20, he was questioned by counter-terrorism police last year over his links with Islamist radicals including a woman arrested in Hungary suspected of planning to join jihadists in Syria. French intelligence identified him using facial recognition software. Born in Russia's Chechen Republic, Azimov became French in 2010 when his mother was naturalised after being granted asylum. Police shot him dead in Rue Monsigny, near the Palais Garnier opera house, only nine minutes after they received the first emergency call at 8.47pm on Saturday. He shouted 'Allahu Akhbar' (Arabic for God is greatest) as he slashed at bystanders' throats. Dozens ran, shouting warnings to others as they fled. Oliver Woodhead, a Londoner who owns L'Entente, a brasserie serving British food just yards from the spot where the killer was shot, told the Daily Telegraph: "It could have been a lot worse if the police hadn't got here so quickly, or if the weather had been warmer and more people had been sitting outside on café terraces where they would have been vulnerable. I think the attacker deliberately targeted people who looked like tourists to hurt the tourist industry, which is vital for France's economy." The area, known for its nightlife and popular with tourists and Parisians, was bustling but less crowded than usual for a Saturday night because many residents were away on holiday. On Sunday, blood mingled with rainwater lay in a puddle in the gutter opposite Mr Woodhead's restaurant. After failing to subdue Azimov with a non-lethal Taser, police surrounded him and fired twice as he rushed at them, shouting: "Kill me or I'll kill you." One shot hit him and the other pierced the glass door of a café, Le Monsigny, which was closed at the time. Overnight, doctors operated on a 54-year-old woman and a man, 34, who were seriously injured. The man was described as a foreign tourist but his nationality was not disclosed. Gérard Collomb, the interior minister, said both were "out of danger". Another woman, aged 26, and a 31-year-old man had more minor injuries. One of the injured was a Chinese national, Chinese media reported.  The Frenchman killed was named as Ronan, 29.  Azimov had no criminal record but was among about 20,000 people on the "S" file of suspects considered a potential security risk. The authorities now face questions over surveillance as other attacks have also been perpetrated by "S" file suspects. Where the Paris knife attack took place Police questioned Azimov's parents on Sunday. They were taken into custody but were not thought to be suspects. It is standard procedure for detectives to question attackers' relatives to piece together a fuller picture of their background and motives. Investigators searched the furnished rooms where Azimov lived with his mother in a lodging house in a working-class neighbourhood of northern Paris with a large immigrant population. A 20-year-old friend of Azimov was arrested in Strasbourg, eastern France, which was the attacker's home before he moved to Paris. Police left the home with a man in handcuffs, his face hidden by a hood, wearing a black T-shirt with "Defend Grozny", the capital of Chechnya, on the front and a drawing of a Kalashnikov rifle on the back. Heavily armed police on Sunday arrested and searched the home 20-year-old man in Strasbourg wearing a t-shirt saying 'Defend Grozny' Credit: PATRICK HERTZOG/ AFP The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) claimed the attack on the group's propaganda website. It is not known whether the assailant had pledged allegiance to the group. In a tweet, President Emmanuel Macron said: "France is paying the price of blood once again but is not yielding an inch to the enemies of freedom." Mr Macron praised the courage of the police officers "who neutralised the terrorist." Police cordoned off the area after the attack and instructed people to stay indoors while they ensured that there were no other assailants at large. People stayed in restaurants, bars and theatres for several hours after the attack, with doors closed and blinds or curtains drawn. They were told to remain quiet to avoid attracting attention. Mr Woodhead, 40, said: "We had about 20 customers and I moved them away from the windows. We finished our service and we gave everyone a free round of drinks." Paris stabbings | Who is Khamzat Azimov? He opened his restaurant as usual on Sunday. Echoing the sentiments of many Parisians, he said: "We're carrying on as normal. This doesn't frighten me. I've got friends who own a restaurant near Borough Market and you can't let attacks like the one there or this one stop you doing what you do." France has been on high alert for the past three years amid a string of terror attacks that have killed nearly 250 people. The state of emergency declared after 130 people were killed in coordinated attacks on the Bataclan concert venue in Paris and nearby bars and restaurants in November 2015 has been lifted. But most of its provisions, granting police extra powers to search premises and detain suspects, have been incorporated into French law.

Part of the testing included a trip to the drag strip where the Sixty managed to outmuscle a Mercedes-AMG GT sports car. Devel quotes a 0-60 mph time of 5.8 seconds for the Sixty, so the prototype in the video might be generating a little more power than the official 700-hp rating that the company also quotes for its crazy six-wheeler.
