Prince William delights on wedding eve walkabout

Superfans of the royal wedding have been camping for days on the Mall to secure their spot for the nuptials.

But they weren't expecting that their dedication would give them a chance to meet Prince William.

The future King stunned thousands of well-wishers when he turned up for an impromptu walkabout on the Mall.

There were huge cheers – and quite a few tears of happiness – when the Prince arrived with his brother Prince Harry from Clarence House at about 8.30pm.

A sea of hands reached out and camera phones were raised in their hundreds as William moved along the crowds to thank people personally for their support.
