Royal wedding fever has continued to sweep through London this summer, thanks to Buckingham Palace's royal wedding dress exhibition.

The exhibit has broken all previous visitor records at the Palace. A staggering 354, 000 visitors have been to see the star attraction since it went on display on 23 July and there's still another month to go before the exhibition closes on 3 October.

Rumour has it that the Queen found the display too "creepy" for her liking, but that doesn't seem to have stopped queues of visitors passing through the Palace doors.

Let us know what you think of the exhibit and take a look below to see the Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress in its full glory.
