If William and Kate are still stumped for ideas on how to spend their honeymoon, London Mayor Boris Johnson may have just provided them with the perfect answer.

He will present them with a specially commissioned tandem based on the capital's cycle hire scheme.

He will also address the crowds gathered in Trafalgar Square today to watch the wedding on a giant screen, propose a toast and cut a wedding cake.

Mr Johnson said: "I am delighted to have this amazing opportunity, on behalf of London, to wish Prince William and Kate Middleton a long, prosperous and joyous life together.

"Today will be a momentous day in history and London is proud to host well-wishers from all over the globe.

"It is only fitting that we thank the happy couple for shining such a glorious light on our capital with a bespoke gift.

"I look forward to seeing the newlyweds on tandem wheels as they start their new life in Anglesey."
