A hospice worker has described her experience at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's "fairytale" wedding.

Sue Marshall was one of 1,200 members of the public invited to the stunning ceremony in Windsor last Saturday.

The 52-year-old from Riverview Park, Gravesend, was recognised by the royals alongside 200 other charity workers for her impact on the lives of young people.

As ellenor's training facilitator, and an experienced palliative care provider, Sue helps students learn about the reality of a role in the healthcare sector.

Sue has worked at ellenor in Coldharbour Road, Northfleet, for the past 16 years.

Sue described how she was just ten feet from the blushing bride as she stood on a grassy area outside the chapel with the other lucky spectators.

She said: "It was like a fairytale, Meghan just looked so incredibly beautiful."

Some of Sue's favourite moments include seeing the whole royal family drive past, and the array of celebrities in attendance.

Famous faces included George Clooney, David and Victoria Beckham, Idris Elba, Serena Williams and Oprah Winfrey.

Sue said: "If I'm really honest, I was blown away to be nominated, but also a bit embarrassed - I'm no different to anybody else that works here.

"I love the royal family, and watched William and Harry from when they were very small children.

"They've come through tragedy, and they're bringing something very different to the table now, and the amount of charity work that they do is enormous."

Two of Sue's students, Molly Cooper, 20, from Swanley, and Gill Kempster, 65, from Dartford, have described how much they have taken from their time at ellenor.

Gill is one of the first cohort of students to take part in Sue's adult course, and both Molly and Gill have been touched by Sue's dedicated leadership skills.

They describe the atmosphere at ellenor as "like a family", and Molly in particular has seen her confidence soar during her time at the hospice.

Sue attended the ceremony with ellenor's head of development, Tricia Wilcocks, who founded the course that Sue now runs for students and remains instrumental in supporting the initiative, alongside staff on the inpatient ward.
