Some interesting statistics being mentioned in relation to the global nature of Friday's Royal wedding...
A useful context for GLOBALISATION
There was a lot made of the support for British designers for example... with the dress / cake / music / Welsh gold for the ring etc.
One figure that was mentioned was that there was a global TV audience of 2 billion for the event.
Thanks to my Twitter network for bringing this article to my attention, which questions the figures that were quoted.
Might be an interesting homework to source an image from the celebrations taking place in as many countries as possible. How about the guests in the abbey - who travelled the furthest ?
How about the sourcing of ingredients for the food served at the wedding reception ?
One record that the wedding did help break: I've never seen so many people in my village shop as when I went for the Sunday papers this morning....
