Can you hear the distant peals of the wedding bells ringing in 2011? Of course you can! It’s the biggest news story of the day, breaking the hearts of women across the UK (if not the world). Prince William and Kate Middleton are to wed.

A smaller news story that might have passed you by however is that Andrew Parsons, Cameron’s personal photographer, and Nicky Woodhouse, creator of Webcameron, have been taken off the government payroll. Cameron bowing to the public pressure is unsurprising if embarrassing. The timing of the announcement a coincidence? I’ll let you decide.
