It was a lovely day, when the village celebrated the wedding of William and Kate.
Other than for the barbecue, all the food was supplied by Lanes Bakery in Burwell - and it was lovely.
I've tried to identify as many people as possible but please let me know if I've got it wrong or missed someone's name.
