Neon Tommy reporter Kelly Williams gives live updates from outside of Buckingham Palace.

Thursday, 10:06 a.m. (GMT): "I've been here since 7 am and am camping out and sleeping through until tommorow.

Its packed and I was interviewed a lot and they are giving out umbrellas, flags, magazines etc. along the mall--similar to the Obama madness at USC. Still not that packed as of now.

People are excited and singing and have signs and are dressing up in outfits. Next to me are girls from L.A. and Fullerton [California]! People are wearing royal face masks of the queen and the couple."

Friday, 9:16 am (GMT): "I camped outside the palace for almost 26 hours overnight, it was freezing. The people are really pushing now and we are against the barrier on the mall.

Dignitaries are goong to Westminster now from the palace. It is grey and cold but people are singing songs and cheering and excited. Lots of Americans and Austrailians are here, and there are cops everywhere.

Press are walking by me, we made signs last night and there was a party overnight. Army band coming by right now."
