I don't think the street parties will be as full force as they would have been, say, 20 years ago.
My friend's having a birthday party BBQ that day, so there's my excuse to stay in Enfield.

I remember back in 1981, even the most jaded of punks DID watch the wedding and put their pretensions of anarchy aside for the day. I think far too much has happened in terms of shattering the illusion of "fairytale" weddings that even a lot of the hardcore Royalists will be watching this with something of a jaundiced eye. |

We only married on the 30th and not the 31st because city hall doesn't do weddings on weekends. It wasn't quite as big a deal as a royal wedding, but it was the big news that weekend. My $25 sundress from the consignment shop for fat grrrls did not make any style sections. |
