(England Twitter)-Continuing in the UK after the marriage of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, with the couple's close family and friends enjoying a dinner dance at Buckingham Palace.
With the official reception over, the couple is now back at the palace as Prince Charles hosts a disco-themed dance party organised by maid of honour Pippa Middleton and best man Prince Harry.
Kate’s second dress by the designer Sarah Burton was a strapless white satin gazar evening gown with a circle skirt and diamanté embroidered detail around the waist.
The Queen decided to absent herself from the event, which was hosted by the Prince of Wales.
Dinner was for a select 300 guests - 100 of Catherine's friends, 100 of Prince William's and 100 friends of Prince Charles and Duchess of Cornwall.
A magnificent eight-tiered wedding cake has taken centre stage at the reception and guests have also been treated to a spread of traditional English canapes.
Outside the palace, celebrations are continuing on the streets of London with up to one million well-wishers turning out to cheer on the newlyweds.
After crowding into streets around Westminster Abbey and The Mall leading up to Buckingham Palace, revellers are now spending the evening celebrating their wedding present - a day off - in pubs and at more than 5,000 street parties across the country.
In a major public relations coup for the royals, the response to the wedding has been overwhelmingly positive.
"Oh, it couldn't have been more perfect.
In a statement, Middleton, the new Duchess of Cambridge, said: "I am glad the weather held off. We had a great day."
The 29-year-old also switched to a new white evening dress for the occasion. The outfit, like her bridal gown, was designed by Sarah Burton.
