The Wedding Held Up the Traffic -- London crowds held-up traffic, jammed the West End, and caused extra police squads when Lady Margaret Egerton, Lady-in-Waiting to Princess Elisabeth, and Mr. John R. Colville, private secretary to the Princess, were married at St. Margaret's, Westminster. A solid mass of women and girls watched 2,000 guests arrive - mostly in taxis. Then there was a hush as the bride - six minutes late by Big Bon - arrived. There was just one cheer. It was for Princess Margaret, who stood beside the other six bridesmaids. Princess Elizabeth, wearing a pale olive felt hat, and the Duke of Edinburgh, leaving after the wedding reception. The King and Queen and other members of the Royal Family also attended the wedding. October 21, 1948.
