The nation was reduced to tears in front of their TV screens as they watched the royal wedding on Saturday.

People watched in their millions as Prince Harry tied the knot with Meghan Markle in St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.

Tears began to flow when Ms Markle arrived and gave the audience the first look at her white gown, designed by British designer Clare Waight Keller.

Side-by-side, the happy couple held hands as they were joined in matrimony and the nation wept happy tears.

Posting on Twitter, one wrote: “I can’t, guys. Harry looks emotional. Meghan looks emotional. Doria looks emotional. This wedding should have been sponsored by Kleenex. #royalwedding.

While another said: “Omg the #RoyalWedding is making me SO emotional which I didn’t expect at all!”

“Oh god Meghan looks so beautiful and happy and Harry looks so happy and in love I'm so emotional rn #RoyalWedding,” commented somebody else.

Many admitted that they didn’t think they would be so “invested” in the wedding but couldn’t help but shed a tear at the “beautiful” scene.

Before the ceremony, viewers had been grappling with what channel to watch as BBC and ITV offered up the very best talent to cover the event.

Dermot O’Leary, Kirsty Young and Huw Edwards fronted the BBC’s coverage while ITV’s broadcast was led by Phillip Schofield and Julie Etchingham.
