<p>The most unusual royal wedding souvenir yet is being planned for Prince William&#8217;s marriage to Kate Middleton &#8211; a special edition Oyster card.</p>
<p>The popular plastic smartcard will have a makeover to mark the event and will go on sale before the pair tie the knot on April 29 next year at Westminster Abbey.</p>
<p>The souvenir Oyster card is likely to feature an image of the happy couple and will probably be snapped up by tourists and Londoners alike.</p>
<p>Transport for London commissioner Peter Hendy told London&#8217;s Evening Standard newspaper: &#8220;One of the things we have not done with Oyster is what they have made a huge success of in Hong Kong &#8211; selling limited editions.</p>
<p>&#8220;Some of the limited editions of the Octopus card are worth a fortune. We will do one for the royal wedding and it will be extremely tasteful.</p>
<p>&#8220;It will be the first one we have put on general release.&#8221;</p>
<p>Oyster cards &#8211; used to store cash for travel and season tickets &#8211; were launched in 2003 and now more than seven million of them are regularly used by commuters in the capital.</p>
<p>The marriage of William&#8217;s parents, the Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer, in 1981 was also marked by the transport authority of the day with a special ticket.</p>
<p>The prince&#8217;s engagement to Miss Middleton has seen a range of items come on to the market to mark the occasion from royal photographer Robin Nunn&#8217;s picture book William &#038; Kate to a Royal Mint commemorative £5 Alderney coin.</p>
