Royal Britain

The Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress to go on display at Buckingham Palace this summer.

The Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress, designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, will go on display at Buckingham Palace during the annual Summer Opening (23 July - 3 October 2011). The Duchess chose British brand Alexander McQueen for the beauty of its craftsmanship and its respect for traditional workmanship and the technical construction of clothing. Her Royal Highness worked closely with Sarah Burton in formulating the design of her dress.The dress is made from ivory and white satin-gazar (stiffened organza) and its train measures 2.7 metres. The Duchess's wedding dress reflects the work of skilled craftsmen and women from across the United Kingdom. The lace appliqu� for the bodice and skirt was hand-made by the Royal School of Needlework, founded in 1872. The lace was produced using the Carrickmacross lace-making technique, which originated in Ireland in the 1820s.The Duchess's wedding shoes, hand-made by the team at Alexander McQueen, of ivory duchesse satin and lace embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework, will also form part of the display, as will the diamond earrings worn by The Duchess on her wedding day. Commissioned by the Middleton family as a personal gift to the bride from her parents, they were created by the London-based jewellers Robinson Pelham.

To complement the wedding dress display, The Duke and Duchess's wedding cake created by Leicestershire-based cake designer Fiona Cairns will be shown in the State Dining Room. The multi-tiered traditional fruit cake was hand-made using British ingredients and decorated with sugar flowers. The Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress and the royal wedding cake will be on display as part of the Summer Opening of Buckingham Palace, which also includes the special exhibition Royal Faberg�.

Opening dates: 23 July - 3 October 2011.

An exhibition opens in Liverpool in September exploring the connections between the Beatles and Elvis Presley.

Elvis and Us is jointly curated by The Beatles Story in Liverpool and Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc, the parent company of Graceland in Memphis. The exhibition will be a multimedia, interactive experience with music, video and exhibits of both Elvis and the Beatles. It will include rare and exclusive artefacts from the Beatles Story and Graceland archives, many of which have never before been displayed publicly. One of the key elements explored in Elvis and Us will be the evening Elvis and the Beatles met in person on 27 August 1965 at Elvis's home in Bel Air, California. The white Fender bass guitar played by Elvis and The Beatles at their meeting will feature in the exhibition. Councillor Joe Anderson, Leader of Liverpool City Council, says: 'Elvis and Us is a huge coup for the city, and Liverpool's world-renowned musical heritage once again comes to the fore. This unique and exclusive exhibition will focus on two legendary acts who have helped shape today's music scene. And it's even more special considering that this is the first exhibition Graceland has embarked on in the UK in over 20 years.
