How tweet it is to be a celebrity with an opinion

As has become the norm with notable occasions, they took to Twitter to air their views – some complimentary and others less so.

Here are some messages:

Amanda Holden: “Great atmosphere. Crowds are so polite. I feel proud to be British.”

Actor and comic James Corden: “I know for a fact that Kate and Wills first dance is Make You Feel My Love by Adele.”

DJ Lauren Laverne: “Somehow, this coverage is making me depressed in advance about there being nothing else on during the Olympics.”

Radio presenter Sarah Cox: “Already shed a tear at Beeb’s old footage of a young Wills and his mum.”

Sports presenter Clare Balding: “Poor Posh – she is trying so hard not to smile because she doesn’t like her face when she does – but she desperately wants to.”

Writer and comedian Armando Iannucci: “Huge crowds already gathering in London for next Thursday’s referendum.”

Singer Billy Bragg: “Send a wake-up call to all those gathered in Westminster Abbey today – vote Yes to AV on Thursday.”

X Factor judge Louis Walsh: “Everybody loves a great wedding, what an amazing day.”

US burlesque artist Dita Von Teese: “Loving the glamour of the royal wedding. Personally, I’m glad such extravagance in tradition still exists.”

TV presenter Sharon Osbourne: “Just saw Prince William & Prince Harry arrive at Westminster Abbey. Magnificent Men. Diana would be so proud.”

Comedian David Baddiel: “Glad Prince Harry got the fancy dress right this time.”

Comedian Dara O Briain: “Harry’s going to have ‘hat hair’ all day now.”

Broadcaster and satirist Charlie Brooker: “It’s a Spitting Image reunion.”

Broadcaster and wit Stephen Fry (choosing to watch the Snooker World Championship instead): “Sh! Frame 14 under way. You could cut the tension with a Black and Decker tension cutter.”
