On April 29 2011, Bucklebury sub-postmaster Hasmukh Shingadia and his wife Chandrika were getting ready for one of the proudest moments of their lives. He wore a morning suit and his wife a traditional Indian sari. Together, the pair travelled to Westminster Abbey as special guests of the Middleton family (who are regulars at their village shop) to watch the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
