Policeman to end 30-yr career after fourth royal wedding

The forthcoming nuptials of Prince William and Catherine Middleton will mark the end of an era for one policeman, who is retiring from the job at the end of the wedding.

Inspector Duncan Morley has already had his last official day with the force, but decided to stay on for the special event.

This will be the 49-year-old's fourth royal wedding, as Mr Morley has already played a role in the marriages of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981, and of Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.

He was also on duty during the funeral of the Queen Mother, who he said always gave him a wave when she came down the Mall during the Trooping the Colour ceremony.

"I don't think there is anyone left in the organisation that planned the Charles and Diana operation," the father-of-two said.

"My role at this event is to manage all the traffic, making sure everyone can get around London."

Mr Morley added that he expects his final ceremonial event before starting a new career as a plumber to be a "fantastic day".

Millions of people around the world are expected to tune in to watch the royal wedding this Friday (April th).

Footage will be live streamed on YouTube between 10:00 and 14:00 BST, covering the couple's journey to and from Westminster Abbey, the service itself, their subsequent balcony appearance and the fly past.
