A teenager will be at Windsor Castle next month after she received an invitation to the Royal Wedding.
Orlagh Doyle, 19, from Garston, will join 1,200 other guests in the castle’s grounds when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot on May 19.
Orlagh described her “shock” after she was nominated after volunteering her time as a YOPEY Befriender at a dementia home in Leavesden.
While she will not be able to attend the service, the former St Michael’s pupil will witness the pair arriving and leaving the church, as well as a live braodcast of of the service.

Orlagh said: "I am so excited. It was such a shock to find out not only had I been nominated but actually invited to the wedding. I can't wait.
"I have always loved the Royal Wedding so this is really special."
The University of Nottingham student will follow her visit to the wedding with a trip to Fiji to teach under privileged children. She will join around 15 others and they will stay with a Fijian family.
They will teach kindergarten and primary school children as well as run a sports programme.
Her trip to Fiji is self-funded. If you would like to support Orlagh or ifnd out more, visit https://www.gofundme.com/h4y9d-think-pacific
