<p>Britain will enjoy a bank holiday bonanza next spring as millions get an extra day off to celebrate the royal wedding.</p>
<p>Prince William and Kate Middleton are to marry in Westminster Abbey on Friday April 29 next year, which has been designated an official public holiday.</p>
<p>With Easter falling the weekend before, and May Day holiday on the following Monday, it means many people will enjoy two four-day weekends in a row.</p>
<p>The couple were said to be &#8220;completely over the moon&#8221; after getting the spring wedding they wanted in a venue they chose for its &#8220;staggering beauty&#8221; and 1,000-year royal history.</p>
<p>They are also keen on making the day a national celebration and a concert in Hyde Park to mark the occasion has been proposed. A senior royal aide said: &#8220;Their view on it would be, &#8216;Let&#8217;s have a party&#8217;.&#8221;</p>
<p>It is being reported, too, that around 100 tickets to the wedding will be given out through a Willy Wonka-style &#8220;Golden Ticket&#8221; draw. Applicants will be drawn at random by organisers in a bid to involve the British people &#8220;at a deeper level&#8221;, The Sun said.</p>
<p>William and Miss Middleton, both 28, announced their engagement last week, nine years after they met as students at St Andrews University.</p>
<p>Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, private secretary to the Prince, said: &#8220;The couple are completely over the moon. I&#8217;ve never seen two happier people, which is absolutely fabulous to work in that sort of environment. They&#8217;re on cloud nine, like any other newly-engaged couple. They&#8217;re now getting stuck into organising their wedding. They are very much in charge of the arrangements for the big day.&#8221;</p>
<p>Prince William has strong ties to Westminster Abbey in central London &#8211; his grandmother, the Queen, was married and crowned in the historic place of worship, and the funeral of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, was held there.</p>
<p>The cost of the wedding &#8211; including the church service, music, flowers, decorations, reception and honeymoon &#8211; will be split between the Queen, Charles and Miss Middleton&#8217;s millionaire parents, Michael and Carole. But the taxpayer will pick up the bill for related costs such as policing.</p>
