Prince Harry and his American bride Meghan married on Saturday in a dazzling ceremony in front of British royalty, celebrities and a global TV audience of millions.

The couple kissed on the steps of St George's Chapel before climbing into a 19th-century open horse-drawn coach for a tour of Windsor, where tens of thousands of cheering well-wishers crammed the streets to catch a glimpse of the newlyweds.

Harry and Meghan were pronounced husband and wife at the chapel in the medieval Windsor Castle by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.

Take a look back at how the ceremony unfolded, in pictures.
