There will also be three brand new pieces of music played during the service, which you will be able to listen to exclusively on the Official Royal Wedding Album, available on Spotify from next week. The album will include the music, the readings and blessings, and of course the exchange of vows between Prince William and Catherine Middleton.

Also, please remember to sign the official guest book and leave a message for the happy couple.
