Prince Harry's wedding tribute to Diana will break your heart

Prince Harry melted hearts with his touching tributes to the late Princess Diana throughout his wedding.

Diana's sister Lady Jane Fellowes delivered the only reading of the ceremony about the eternal power of love.

And the hymn "Guide Me, O Thy Great Redeemer" which featured in the wedding was also played at the much loved Princess' funeral.

But perhaps the most heart-wrenching tribute was as 600 guests fill St George's Chapel for the wedding, one seat was left vacant - in front of Prince Phillip and next to Prince William - and it's believed to be for Princess Diana.

We're not crying! You're not crying!

More tributes included Diana's favourite flowers, white peonies and white garden roses, adorning the 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."
