PHOTO: William and Kate's first public kiss!
Kate and William, now the Duchess and Duke of Cambridge pose in the balcony of the Buckingham Palace
On the balcony of the Buckingham Palace,the bride and bridegroom are joined by their parents, the Maid of Honour, Bridesmaids, Page Boys, Best Man and Prince William's grandparents The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh.
The tradition of appearing on the balcony was started in 1851 when Queen Victoria stepped onto it during celebrations for the opening of the Great Exhibition.
Williams kissed his bride -- a blink-and-you'll-miss-it peck on her lips. We suppose he breathed a sigh of relief after that, as we caught Prince Harry giggling. The groom then decided to kiss his bride the second time before the flypast began.
Taking part in the fly past were a Lancaster, a Spitfire and a Hurricane aircraft from the Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. After that two Tornado and two Typhoon fast jets, flying in Windsor Formation, passed over the Palace.
