Cycle Response Unit appear in BBC Royal Wedding trailer

The Cycle Response Team have been involved in a BBC promotional trailer about the Royal Wedding which is being aired regularly between programmes ahead of the main event on April 29.

Hundreds prepare to provide first aid cover along route

Thousands of well-wishers are expected to line the route of the procession from Buckingham Palace, along the Mall and past Parliament Square to Westminster Abbey, and St John Ambulance members will be in place along the route to make sure that first aid is available to anyone who needs treatment.

St John Ambulance will deploy about 700 first aid Volunteers to provide first aid cover for the huge crowds expected to gather along the route of the wedding procession when Prince William and Kate Middleton marry later this month.

Twenty-two treatment centres will be set up to cover the whole event, and 20 crewed ambulances will be on hand to transport anyone needing further treatment to hospital, making sure that the charity is able to be the difference by giving first aid treatment to everyone who needs it.

Proud to be involved

Ann Cable, commissioner of St John Ambulance London (Prince of Wales') District said:

'We are delighted and proud to be involved in the celebrations of the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. We hope this will be a memorable and joyous occasion for everyone who comes to enjoy the unique celebrations, and our trained volunteers will be on hand to make sure it is an event to remember for all the right reasons.'

St John Ambulance's staff and members have been organising cover for the Royal Wedding for several months, and ambulances will be on the scene from the early hours of the morning to make sure the gathering crowds have access to first aid care.

St John Ambulance will be working alongside London Ambulance Service and the British Red Cross throughout the event.
