From York PA - with video (and the bagpiper is no relation)
Richard Simons arrived in York around 1:30 a.m. Friday with his kilt and bagpipes.
He said it was just enough time to get a few hours of sleep at his sister's home before waking up at 5 a.m. to be among the first to arrive at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Spring Garden Township to help celebrate the nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Around 5:30 a.m., nearly 40 people gathered at a royal wedding reception held at the church. They were greeted by hymns played on the bagpipes.
Simons left Northfield, N.J., Thursday night to surprise his father and English-born mother, who now live in York and are members of the church.
"(My mother) was so surprised when she walked into the church when I was playing (the bagpipes). She didn't even think it was me," said Simons.
