LONDON -- Prince William and Kate Middleton attended a final wedding rehearsal at Westminster Abbey.

St. James's Palace says that the couple, the bride's parents and Prince Harry were at the abbey Wednesday with senior clergy for the private rehearsal.

The rehearsal was their last chance to run through the service before their wedding Friday.

A convoy of cars arrived at the abbey as hundreds of excited tourists and dozens of broadcasting crew looked on.

Middleton's parents, Michael and Carole, drove to London from their Berkshire home earlier Wednesday to base themselves at the Goring Hotel. They will be staying there for the next three nights.

The couple had held rehearsals before, but this is the first time they did inside the abbey.
