Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew in pictures: A look back at the couple's wedding
SARAH FERGUSON and Prince Andrew were married at Westminster Abbey in 1986. We take a look back at their beautiful wedding day ahead of their daughter Princess Eugenie’s royal wedding next month.
Princess Eugenie of York, 28, will marry her longterm boyfriend Jack Brooksbank, 32, at Windsor Castle next month in the second royal wedding of the year.
The young royal will follow in the footsteps of her cousin Prince Harry who married Meghan Markle at St George’s Chapel in May.
Ahead of the royal wedding, we take a look at the iconic wedding of her parents Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew.
The Duke and Duchess of York, both 58, were married on July 23 in 1986 at Westminster Abbey in London.
Princess Eugenie recently revealed plans to follow in Sarah Ferguson’s footsteps after wedding.
The royal couple, who divroced in 1996, had known each other from childhood and had been dating for one year before the announcement of their engagement.
Pictures show Prince Andrew, who was fourth in line to the throne at the time of their wedding, wearing his smart naval uniform and by his side his new bride during the service at the Abbey.
The bride in her ivory silk wedding dress and stunning 17-foot train was walked down the aisle by her father Major Ronald Ferguson.
A four-year old Prince William and his cousins Zara and Peter Phillips had starring roles in the bridal party and followed their aunt-to-be down the aisle.
The bride and groom emerged from Westminster Abbey and traveled in an open-top procession to Buckingham Palace for their private reception.
The splendid wedding was watched by 500 million people according to the BBC, with thousands of royal fans lining the streets of London to watch the carriage procession which also featured the Queen, Prince Charles and Diana.
Pictures show the royal couple on the balcony of Buckingham Palace playfully listening to the crowd outside calling for them to kiss, before lovingly giving the crowd what they wanted.
One image shows the Queen tenderly holding her grandson Prince William as the Royal Family wave the newlyweds off on honeymoon.
