Just William

Mark Devenport | 17:39 UK time, Monday, 14 March 2011

A couple of weeks ago I let Good Morning Ulster listeners know that the Stormont Speaker William Hay had got an invitation to Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding. What I didn't know then was that whilst he has a ticket, the Palace didn't send one for Mrs Hay.

Imagine the conversation between the Speaker and his wife, Doris. "There's good news, and bad news, dear....". The Speaker insists he won't leave Doris on the steps of Westminster Abbey, but it will be just William inside the church, so he'll have to find some way to make it up to her - so near and yet so far from attending the society event of the year.
