You got the best highlights of the wedding ceremony. I agree with you when you said that the best views can be seen from the comfort of your home. The palace was so beautiful. I wonder how can those t.v. stations can profit from their coverage.
Just like you, I'm fortunate to saw the Royal Wedding on t.v. via satellite coverage of CNN. "Stand by Me "song , I think will now become more popular. ;)
It's a very popular song and they did a great job with it. CNN would have to had paid a fee for the TV rights to broadcast it. :)
