soldiers may be among the 1,900 people set to receive post over the coming weeks, as St James's Palace revealed it has issued the invitations for the big day.<\/p>\n<p>The ceremony will be held in Westminster Abbey on April 29th and celebrities, diplomats and friends of the couple are among those who will gather as part of the congregation.<\/p>\n<p>While names of guests have not been officially released, David and Victoria Beckham are among the A-listers who will join the injured soldiers in celebrating the union of Prince William and Kate Middleton.<\/p>\n<p>Following the service there will be a reception for approximately 600 people at Buckingham Palace, while there will be a more intimate dinner for fewer guests later in the evening.<\/p>\n<p>Prince William is also thought to have requested representatives from a range of charities he supports to the occasion.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Simon Williams<br> &nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-800416811-ADNFCR\"
