Among the 2,640 people attending the Royal Wedding on May 19, 1,200 will be members of the public.

According to a press statement from Kensington Palace on Tuesday, the couple asked the Lord Lieutenants to invite 1,200 people including "young people who have shown strong leadership, and those who have served their communities."

They shared the stories of some of the people invited.

This coincides with the news that there will be no "official list" of guests from the world of politics, and it has been confirmed that Donald Trump and Barack Obama have not been invited.
