Corbis presents the Royal Wedding Collection and sweetens the wait for the wedding of the year between Kate & Prince William

The event arguably causing the most media hype this year is not far off: Prince William and Kate Middleton will tie the knot on the 29th of April at Westminster Abbey. The world will look at London and thousands of photographers hope for the perfect picture and will not let their finger off the trigger for a second.

To celebrate the occasion, Corbis Images has created an eclectic collection of photographs of Royal Weddings from the last century. The pictures not only offer impressions of the greatest wedding moments but also reflect the various lifestyles of past generations.

Be it the wedding of Prince Albert and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon in 1923 or the rather modest wedding of Elisabeth II. In post-war Britain – the photographers revive and capture not only the couples’ happiness but also the public’s enthusiasm.

Nobody could resist the momentum. As such, Lady Di’s walk down the aisle in St.Paul’s Cathedral remains unforgotten. Despite or rather because of all the hair-splitting tragedies, which were to follow in later years.

The ‘Royal Wedding’ collection shows the most captivating memories and shortens the waiting time until Kate and William’s big day.

Because waiting much longer would surely make even the last of our hairs fall out! So, let’s go people!

Oh yes, and long live the Queen
