Anyone attempting to disrupt the royal wedding on Friday will face a "robust" response, the Metropolitan Police has said.

Some 5,000 officers will be on duty to ensure the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton is a "safe, secure and happy event".

Cdr Christine Jones, who will be overseeing the police operation, said there was no specific known threat.

But 60 suspected troublemakers have been banned from London on the day.

They are people who were arrested following the recent student protests and the violence during the TUC marches. They have been banned from central London as part of their bail conditions.

Six have been arrested in recent days amid fears they could be planning similar disruption and police are expected to make several more arrests in coming days.

Meanwhile, the first member of the public has begun camping out in front of Westminster Abbey.

John Loughrey, 56, began his week-long vigil on Monday night, saying he planned to stay in his position to ensure a prime spot for the event.

The world's media has also started arrive at a temporary structure outside Westminster Abbey where they will be broadcasting to an estimated global TV audience of two billion.

Well I for one am glad I'm not in England this weekend. I still remember that bloody interminable circus when Charlie and Di got hitched. What a tedious experience.

Well the O'bama's were not invited. Michelle put her hand on the queen's shoulder in 2009.

The best retort I've heard is:
Did you make this invitation yourself sir.

Well yes I did. Mine hasn't arrived yet.

What a load.

Aides say the wedding isn't technically a state occasion, as William is second in line rather than heir to the throne - so there's no protocol requiring key world leaders to be invited.


That would be suitable if it wasn't fairly probable that William will be taking the throne some day. His brother? Sure, that's fine. But not in William's case. Sorry guy. You get all the rewards of being the heir in the royal family? You get all the other stuff that goes with it, too.
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

I'm afraid we don't allow former colonies to dictate royal protocol, so your arguments are irrelevant. If you wanted the free grub, you should have shown more respect back in the 18th century.

As if that would have made a difference in this case, or that a difference is even desirable.

Well, that loaded iPod from Kanye makes for a decent wedding gift. One from Barry? Not so much.

They gave the Queen an iPod, a bunch of DVD's to Brown, so what do you think they send William as a wedding gift? Scratch off lottery tickets?

It sounds like you guys have Monarchy envy.

Look on the bright side - your royal family, the Kardashians, will have 5 or 6 weddings each, so you'll probably all get to go.

There is speculation that Mr. Kanye West may take Ms. Kim Kardashian as his companion to attend the wedding.
