Do we kiss? The best quotes from the royal wedding

“My baby looks beautiful and she looks very happy. I wish I were there and I wish them all my love and all happiness”

- Thomas Markle, the bride’s father who was unable to attend after undergoing heart surgery.

“There’s power in love. Don’t underestimate it. Don’t even over-sentimentalise. There is power, power in love. Love can help and heal when nothing else can. There’s power in love to lift up and liberate when nothing else will”

- The Most Rev Michael Curry, primate of the American Episcopal Church.

“People applauded when the declaration of marriage was made... It’s really quite special to watch a service in a church setting with Brits, US citizens, Russians and people from around the world. In the current tensions, especially here in Moscow, it is a great thing to bring us together - perhaps an example of the power of love spoken about by the preacher”

- The Rev Canon Malcolm Rogers, chaplain of St Andrew’s Anglican Church, Moscow, to which the service was relayed.

“This marriage will change the world”

“Everybody in Mourne is shocked and delighted”

- Henry Reilly, Unionist councillor on Newry, Mourne and Down District Council, on the news that the couple have been made the Baron and Baroness of Kilkeel.
