  Royal Wedding Dresses Monday 3 June 2002  
It is now possible to see the splendour in which the last five British Queens were married.

Kensington Palace is hosting an exhibition as part of the Jubilee celebrations. On display are the dress worn by the present Queen in 1947, the Queen Mum's classic twenties confection and Queen Victoria's surprisingly simple gown from 1840.
Claudia Hammond went along with the Royal fashion watcher Michael Talboys and Joanna Marschner, Kensington Palace's museum curator.
