--- Quote ---Unable any longer to contain his joy, the layman who has been named as Ben Sheward, offered his own personal fly-past to mark the occasion.
He strode happily along the red-carpeted aisle in his traditional black cassock, paused with one arm aloft, like a cricketer preparing to bowl, and performed a near-perfect cartwheel.
As he returned to the upright position, the verger smiled broadly and walked a few paces further on the carpet, before allowing himself a second cartwheel, which took him just out of view.
The church official was captured by cameras after Prince William and Kate Middleton, now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, made their vows to each other during their wedding ceremony and left Westminster Abbey for Buckingham Palace.
Such gymnastic displays are rare in the 1,000 year-old Abbey, which has been the Coronation church since 1066 and is the final resting place of 17 monarchs.
A spokesman for the Abbey declined to reveal the identity of the verger responsible for the exuberant display.
“Vergers are people who assist and prepare for the clergy in their services,” the spokesman said. “Our view is that the verger was simply reflecting what we all feel about a very successful service. It is a general reflection of the mood of the Abbey and a job well done.
“It was long after the congregation had departed and we were all reflecting on what we had achieved.”
The ceremony was watched by 2,000 friends, family and dignitaries inside the Abbey and an estimated 2 billion people around the world.
