Queen Elizabeth II's maid of honour says they felt like the Spice Girls in their bridesmaid dresses.
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip
Lady Anne Glenconner still has her gown from the 91-year-old monarch's wedding to Prince Philip in 1947 at Westminster Abbey in London.
Only two of them survive today, with Lady Pamela Hicks, another of the eight bridesmaids.
Speaking about the beautiful dresses, Anne said: "It's very, very fragile. And it was all hand-embroidered."
The girls also got to carry bunches of white orchids, lilies of the valley, gardenias and white roses at the ceremony, and being followed around by paparazzi made them feel like a member of 90s girl group.
She told The Smithsonian Channel: "We were rather like the Spice Girls.
"We were in all of the papers -- the press followed us. We just felt like princesses."
Elizabeth was able to take a close look at her dress when it went on show at Buckingham Palace back in 2007 to mark the couple's diamond wedding anniversary.
Sir Hugh Roberts, director of the Royal Collection at the time, said: "This one is very personal to her and must bring back many extraordinary memories of that day. I think, as with everybody really seeing the dress again, she will have marvelled at the marvellous quality of the embroidery, and the marvellous way the dress was so particularly well suited to that great occasion."
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip celebrated their anniversary on November 20.
