Sue Fowler, left, behind the bar at the Black Bull while regulars were watching the ceremony on TV.Dawn and Phil Clipson at the Britannia, in Wrawby Street, Brigg, had a sign outside last night saying they were declaring the inside of their premises a Royal Wedding-free zone today!
Leaving aside whether you think the monarchy is a good or bad institution, the weeks and weeks of press coverage leading up to the event has often proved repetitive and predictable.
It may be all over in terms of the ceremony and as far as Brigg's celebrations are concerned, but we won't have heard the last of it from many media outlets.
I won't be dashing to Martin's, in Brigg, for the Sunday papers this week. And I won't be the only one to feel that way! We know what will be filling the supplements and news pages.
A walk through Brigg town centre this morning resulted in fewer shops open than expected. But it is a public holiday, after all.
In terms of our Big Three retailers, Tesco had strung patriotic bunting near the tills, while Wilkinson's and Lidl were also open.
A good time was had by all at the Black Bull, where Royal Wedding celebrations were being led by mine hosts Amber and Rick. And a few other business people on, and near, Wrawby Street were trying to earn a crust (literally in some cases!) on a day when judging visitor numbers was always going to prove difficult.
