Prince's RAF colleagues given role at wedding
Prince William's RAF colleagues will line the route when he leaves Westminster Abbey after marrying Kate Middleton this month.
Two groups of 12 comrades who have served alongside the prince, as well as others who have made outstanding contributions to their service, will carry out the honour as the couple make their way to a horse-drawn coach.
Three aircraft from the Battle of Britain memorial flight will also take part in a flypast over Buckingham Palace. The Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricane will be followed by two Typhoons and two Tornados.
General Sir David Richards, head of the armed forces, said: "It is a huge honour for those servicemen and women taking part and one they and their families will remember with great pride.
He added: "For those in the path-lining it will be a particular and poignant honour as many will have served alongside Prince William."
