Royal wedding: Celebrity reaction on Twitter

CELEBRITIES joined millions of people on Twitter around the world watching and typing during the Royal Wedding yesterday.

Cheeky former England cricketer MICHAEL VAUGHAN predicted Prince Harry could try to chat up Kate Middleton’s sister Pippa.

He said: “Lets all pray for Harry... pray that he gets lucky tonight with Pippa.”

Singer JUSTIN BIEBER also appeared to like Pippa, he said: “Congrats to William and Kate *and Kate’s sister.”

STEPHEN FRY shocked his followers by ignoring the wedding completely and tweeting about a snooker match he was watching. He said: “Semi finals always provide a special thump of nerves. I’m glued.”

At the start of the ceremony, former Strictly Come Dancing judge ARLENE PHILLIPS said: “I feel like I have been hypnotised by Paul McKenna through the TV to watch wedding like a ­numbskull.” But by the end she added: “Oh s*** I am actually crying.”

Pop legend GEORGE MICHAEL was clearly impressed, writing during the ceremony: “One word... class.”

And the host of programme Crimewatch RAV WILDING tweeted: “Proud to be ex-military and police... both of whom I think marshalled today’s wedding superbly.”

TV’s BEN FOGLE said: “On a double decker from the Abbey to the Palace. Had to show a bank statement to security to get on.”

SHARON OSBOURNE remarked: “Just saw Prince William & Prince Harry arrive at Westminster Abbey. Magnificent Men. Diana would be so proud.”

Presenter LORRAINE KELLY wrote: “Got to love Harry – he looks a bit hungover and his hair is mad.”

In an hour during the ceremony, Facebook also saw 268,777 mentions of the wedding – 74 a second – in the UK.

Demand proved too much for the BBC website, which crashed at one point.
