After a final rehearsal at Westminster Abbey, Kate Middleton arrived this evening at the Goring Hotel, where her family are staying ahead of her marriage to Prince William tomorrow.

A beaming Kate showed no sign of nerves as she prepares to spend her final night as a single woman - and a commoner.

And royal fans had an extra treat tonight as her husband-to-be greeted well-wishers along The Mall.
