*2 choirs & 1 orchestra will be performing during the ceremony
*5000 bells will ring for 3 hrs after the service

*1700 biscuits will be used to make one of the cakes (william's favorite)
*5000 police officers will be ensuring safety
*187 horses will be trotting about
*35 police dogs will be sniffing out any strange scents
*1,000,000 people will line streets around the cathedral
*100 million pints of beer will be poured at pubs
*26,000 tulips will be trimmed since they peaked too early this year and will take your eye off the royal couple's appearance at buckingham palace (poor tulips!)
