A WEDDING gift from the people of Wales to Prince William and his bride-to-be Kate Middleton has been designed and crafted right here in Powys.

With news that Crickhowell primary school pupil Tom Pettifer will be pageboy on the big day at Westminster Abbey, Brecon and Radnorshire residents have plenty of reasons to look forward to Friday's big day.

Celebrations are planned all over the county to celebrate the Royal wedding day.
