How Kate Middleton turned princess

Before a flawless exchange of vows, a veiled Middleton wearing a laced dress with a long train, the first "commoner" to marry a prince in close proximity to the throne in more than 350 years, walked slowly through the 1,900-strong congregation

As they met at the altar William, second in line to the throne, whispered to her, prompting a smile. The Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams declared the couple married with the words: "I pronounce that they be man and wife together.

Tens of thousands of people thronging the streets outside cheered when they heard the words, and again as the newlyweds left the abbey in a 1902 open-topped state landau carriage bound for Buckingham Palace, the queen's London residence

it was designed by Sarah Burton of the Alexander McQueen label, named after the British designer who committed suicide

Boy's bedroom features rope ladder to timber pirate ship
Badly behaved shipmates can be locked away in wrought-iron jail
Crew can escape through two-storey spiral slide, or down rope ladder into closet

It looks like every little boy's dream idea of their perfect bedroom.

But this is in fact one extremely lucky six-year-old's very own pirate ship room, complete with rope bridge, crow's nest and a two-storey hidden slide.

This ultimate in cool sleeping quarters was created by designer Steve Kuhl, and also features a wrought-iron jail cell and hidden rope ladder access to the closet.

Ship-shape: The ultimate pirate bedroom was created by Steve Kuhl for a lucky six-year-old in Minnesota

On the lookout: The amazing creation also features a crow's nest, rope bridge and two-storey slide

Dream bedroom: Intrepid explorers, or even little sisters, have to enter the ship over a wooden rope ladder after climbing on top of a wrought-iron jail cell

The bedroom was chosen by its owner in Minnesota from a selection of a space ship, racing car, castle and the pirate ship.

Mr Kuhl, who owns Kuhl Design Build, used two large planks to construct the hull of the ship before covering them with layers of plywood as the deck planking.

A mixture of plaster and epoxy resin was then used for the ship's hull.

There is also a spiral slide which is accessed through a hole at the top and comes out in a sports court on the bottom floor of the house.

No doubt the proud owner will not be short of friends.
