Diana's sister Lady Jane Fellowes reads tribute at the royal wedding



Prince Harry included a tribute to his late mother Diana in his wedding service with a Bible reading about the power of eternal love.



Diana's sister Lady Jane Fellowes delivered the only reading of the ceremony at Windsor Castle before Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle.



Lady Jane read from the eighth chapter of the Song of Solomon in the knave of St George's Chapel after the couple completed the Declaration.





Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death, passion fierce as the grave,' it read.



'Its flashes are flashes of fire, a raging flame. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it.



'If one offered for love all the wealth of one's house, it would be utterly scorned.'



Lady Jane also read from the Bible at Diana's funeral in 1997 after the former wife of Prince Charles was killed in a car crash in Paris.



Diana's other sister Lady Sarah McCorquodale and her brother Earl Spencer were also in attendance along with Harry's cousins in the Spencer family.



The reading was one of several tributes to Diana that Harry included in the service, which his mother never got to see as she died when he was 12.



The hymn Guide Me, O Thy Great Redeemer, which was played at Diana's funeral, was played at the wedding ceremony.





Harry also used two diamonds from his mother's personal collection in the engagement ring he had custom made for the proposal.



Diana's favourite flowers, white peonies and white garden roses, also adorned an elaborate archway over the organ loft and entryway as guests entered.





Harry also handpicked flowers from Kensington Palace to include in Meghan's bouquet, including forget-me-nots which were another of Diana's favourites.



The newly-bestowed Duke of Sussex said in previous interviews his mother would get on extremely well with his new bride.



'Oh they'd be thick as thieves, without question, I think she would be over the moon, jumping up and down, you know so excited for me, but then, as I said, would have probably been best friends - best friends with Meghan,' he said.



'It is days like today when I really miss having her around and miss being able to share the happy news, but with the ring and with everything else that's going on, I'm sure she's with us, jumping up and down somewhere else.'
