The wedding of the year is only a day away - and to help with plans for what to do on the big day, there is a host of events taking place across North Norfolk to mark Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding.

Some people have been starting their celebrations early.

Staff and children from North Walsham Childminding Group , who together with Kidzone and Kingfisher Kids Club, held a Royal Wedding Street Fair at North Walsham Scout Hut last week.

Children ranging from babies right up to 12-years-old joined in with Royal competitions and quizzes, and two lucky youngsters were picked as the 'bride and groom' for the day, eight-year-old Alisha Redgrave and Ian Glover, 11.

Sally Lee who helped organised the event, said: 'It has been fantastic, we have had about 50 children here.'
