Legoland downsizes Kate Middleton and Prince William's big day

When Kate Middleton and Prince William share a kiss at Buckingham Palace soon after their wedding next month, the images will be broadcast around the globe within seconds.

But visitors to Windsor from Friday onwards will be able to get a sneak preview.

No, the bride and groom-to-be are not practising in the gardens of Windsor Castle, but Legoland has anticipated the scene - in miniature - brick by little brick.

Man and wife: Prince William and Kate Middleton share a kiss in front of the palace, and show off their outfits, the Prince in his military uniform, and Kate in a white dress, gloves and veil, embellished with flowers

Completing the scene: While the couple kiss, wedding guests wait patiently behind them and crowds of well-wishers stand outside the gate

In the theme park's Miniland version, Kate and William break from tradition by kissing in front of the crowds gathered at the palace rather than on the balcony like Charles and Diana did.

The tiny statuettes show the couple in a romantic clinch, with wedding guests holding presents behind them, and crowds of well-wishers, school children and paprazzi in front.

Celebrities standing alongside Kate and William as they look out towards the crowd include a heavily pregnant Victoria Beckham and Sir Elton John with David Furnish and their young son.

A second scene involving the royal couple sees them joining their relatives on Buckingham Palace's famous balcony.

Up on the balcony, Kate Middleton is flanked by Prince William and her granny-in-law The Queen.

Prince Harry is just to the right of his brother - you can recognise him from his ginger hair peeping out from under his military cap.

Moving on: William and Kate appear both in front of Buckingham Palace, and on the balcony

He is in the same little alcove as his father, Prince Charles, and stepmother, Camilla Parker Bowles. Camilla is wearing a fascinator that looks very similar to the one Carole Middleton is wearing. Maybe Lego only makes one kind or feathery headwear.

Legoland's topical latest display marks its 15th birthday. The park re-opens to the public on Friday.
