Today a look back to my recent visit to Canongate Kirk, which of course is the venue for today’s royal wedding of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall. I wish all the best to the happy couple and I hope the day goes well, it looks likely to be a glorious day weatherwise.

The sketch is a looking towards the alter from the pews, just behind where her majesty the Queen will be sitting!  Here is the original post:

“Not far from the day job on the Royal Mile lies the Canongate Kirk, which is currently enjoying a celebrity status amongst the tourists of Edinburgh due to an upcoming wedding. The Church of Scotland Kirk is to be the venue for Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall’s marriage on July 30th 2011. Holyrood Palace is within the Kirk’s parish and this is where the reception will be held.

This is my sketch using pen and then pencil to shade, from within the Kirk.
