The royal wedding is still a month a way, but Lego is already offering the public a little taste of the festivities.
Model makers at the Legoland theme park in Windsor, England, have created a brick-by-brick model of Prince William and Kate Middleton's upcoming nuptials.
The Queen, Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall are all present at the miniature Buckingham Palace, which required approximately 160,000 Lego bricks and 550 hours of work, all to display Lego Prince William and Lego Kate Middleton as they grace the royal residence's famous balcony.

Each 4-inch miniature guest took roughly two hours and 30 to 40 Lego pieces to build.
"It's a perfect opportunity for us to showcase the skills of our fantastic model makers," Legoland divisional director Sue Kemp told The Telegraph. "We are only two miles from Windsor Castle, and with the royal wedding so close now, lots of people are very interested to come in to Mini-London and see the showcase for the royal wedding that we have."
Just like the real ceremony, the guest list for this model wedding is high-profile and star-studded.
Celebrities present include David Beckham and his pregnant wife Victoria, an extravagantly dressed Elton John with partner David Furnish, and Sir Paul McCartney, complete with signature Hofner semi-acoustic bass guitar and Sgt. Pepper attire.
And, of course, the paparazzi is present to capture the scene.
The attraction coincides with Legoland Windsor's 15th anniversary and opens to visitors on Friday.
