Victoria and David Beckham are among the celebrity guests excitedly preparing to attend the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Footballer David and his Spice Girl-turned fashion designer wife are on the list of 1,900 guests invited to the Westminster Abbey service.

Victoria spoke of her delight at the occasion, writing on Twitter: "London looks beautiful!!! We are so proud to be British!"

The pregnant former Posh Spice has chosen one of her own designs for the wedding, from her latest AW11 collection, which she unveiled at New York Fashion Week in February.

It will be accessorised with a hat by celebrated milliner Philip Treacy, and she has collaborated with Christian Louboutin to customise a pair of the French designer's shoes.

Husband David, who is also much-admired for his style, will be wearing Ralph Lauren. Like other guests the Beckhams will be contributing to the couple's wedding charity rather than offering a gift.

Another of those attending the ceremony, TV presenter Ben Fogle, also expressed his excitement.

He wrote on Twitter: "Quick walk in Hyde Park with the dogs while the girls have their hair done. Very excited. London feels electric."

Among those lucky enough to be involved in the big day is Ellie Goulding, who will play for Prince William and Kate Middleton and their guests at the royal wedding reception.

The singer-songwriter, who had her biggest hit last year with a cover of Sir Elton John's Your Song, will perform at the after dinner party at Buckingham Palace.
