As well as some of the famous faces attending Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's special day, the couple have also invited a number of members of the public.

Earlier this year, a statement released on Twitter said, 'Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle have said they want their Wedding Day to be shaped so as to allow members of the public to feel part of the celebrations too. This wedding, like all weddings, will be a moment of fun and joy that will reflect the characters and values of the Bride and Groom.'

It went on to explain how 2,640 people will be invited into the grounds of Windsor Castle to watch the arrivals of the Bride and Groom, made up of the following:

1,200 members of the public from every corner of the United Kingdom will be nominated to attend by nine regional Lord Lieutenant offices. The couple has asked that the people chosen are from a broad range of backgrounds and ages, including young people who have shown strong leadership, and those who have served their communities.

200 people from a range of charities and organisations which Prince Harry and Ms. Markle have a close association with, including those which Prince Harry serves as Patron.

100 pupils from two local schools: The Royal School, Great Park, Windsor and St George's School, Windsor Castle – both of which have a strong affiliation with the Windsor Castle community.

610 Windsor Castle community members, including residents of Windsor Castle and members of the St George's Chapel community.

530 Members of The Royal Households and Crown Estate.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding is due to take place at midday (Saturday 19th May).
