The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have celebrated their marriage with dinner and dancing at Buckingham Palace, along with about 300 friends and family.
The bride wore a white evening gown by Sarah Burton, who created her wedding dress, to the event.
The couple stayed at the palace after the reception, which lasted into the early hours.
It is thought they may depart for their honeymoon later, though details of their plans have not been made public.
The reception, hosted by the Prince of Wales, is believed to have featured Prince Harry's best man speech and Michael Middleton's father of the bride address.
A St James's Palace spokesman said the new duchess had donned a white angora bolero cardigan over her white satin gazar dress, which featured a circle skirt and diamante embroidered detail round the waist.
Her sister Pippa changed for the evening reception into a long emerald green sleeveless dress with a jewelled embellishment on the front and a plunging neckline.
Their mother, Mrs Middleton, wore a black capped sleeve dress, cut low at the front and back, with a tiered skirt.
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh did not attend, having left for a private weekend away.
'Striking the balance'
Clarence House spokesperson Paddy Harverson told the BBC he believed the duke and duchess could return to a relatively private life in Anglesey, despite the wedding spectacle.
Mr Harverson said: "I think it is because it'll be about striking the balance between their public lives...
"But the most important thing to remember is that he's not heir to the throne, he's second in line, and he's not a full-time royal, he's a full-time pilot working a normal job for the RAF search and rescue.
"And so he will be doing that most of the time and she, as his wife, will be with him, so in that sense their natural home, their natural place will be up in Wales. And I think people will understand that."
'Party mad'
Meanwhile, a spokesman for President Obama said that the White House wished the newly-weds "a lifetime of happiness together".
"The United States has no closer friend in the world than the United Kingdom," he added.
"On this occasion, the American people extend heartfelt congratulations to the peoples of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth and share in their hopes for a bright future for the royal couple."
he State Rooms, including the grand ballroom, were used for the reception.
The ballroom, measuring over 36 metres in length and 18 metres in width, is the largest of the 775 rooms in the palace.
It was added in the 1850s at the request of Queen Victoria and opened in 1856 with a ball to celebrate the end of the Crimean War - a war in which the previous holder of Prince William's new title, the 2nd Duke of Cambridge, served.
On Friday, pubs were allowed to remain open for an additional two hours beyond the conventional closing time; they will be granted the same flexibility on Saturday.
Millions of people across the UK marked the royal wedding with street parties, picnics and other festivities.
But one party in Glasgow's Kelvingrove Park resulted in 21 arrests as police attempted to disperse thousands of revellers.
The organisers described themselves as "royalist/party mad", but Glasgow City Council had urged people not to attend their "unsafe and unofficial" party.
One police officer was injured and several police vans had their windows smashed in clashes attributed by Ch Supt Bernard Higgins to "completely unacceptable" levels of drunkenness.
Arsenal blew the Barclays Premier League title race wide open with victory over Manchester United.
Aaron Ramsey's second-half goal - his first since January 2010 - saw United's lead remain at just three points from Chelsea, whom they face next week at Old Trafford.
The Gunners may have seen their own title ambitions extinguished following a run of costly draws before defeat at Bolton Wanderers last Sunday, but at least gave their frustrated fans renewed hope next season might just be different for Arsene Wenger's young side.
Ramsey had only been in the team because of a thigh injury to captain Cesc Fabregas, but his well-taken strike on 56 minutes was just reward for a high-tempo performance.
Arsenal started brightly, with Theo Walcott causing problems down the right, and Jack Wilshere dragged an early chance wide from 15 yards after a poor clearance by United skipper Vidic.
Gael Clichy whipped in a low cross from the left but as Walcott arrived in the six-yard box, he was stretching and could only shin the ball over the crossbar.
It continued to be one-way traffic and, after 15 minutes, Patrice Evra got a toe to Wilshere's low centre across the goal with Walcott ready for a tap-in at the far post.
After so much pressure, United then cut Arsenal apart on the break.
Spotted It
Fabio burst down the right and into the area before pulling the ball back to Javier Hernandez, with Bacary Sagna making a last-gasp block just as the Mexican shaped to shoot.
There was then a massive let-off for United when Nemanja Vidic knocked Walcott's cross from the right behind with his hand, taking it off the head of van Persie.
However, neither the referee or nearside assistant Andy Garratt spotted it.
When the dust settled, Wayne Rooney had a goalbound 20-yard shot blocked, before going into the book on 41 minutes for pushing Wilshere over on the far touchline.
Arsenal made a change for the second half with Samir Nasri, who tweaked a hamstring, replaced by Russia winger Andrey Arshavin.
United were awarded a free-kick some 22 yards out when Park was bundled over by Song. Rooney struck his effort over the wall, but Wojciech Szczesny dived to his right to make a good two-handed save.
Arsenal slowly got themselves back into a rhythm, with Sagna angling a low drive across goal before they swept into the lead on 56 minutes.
Ramsey fed van Persie, who charged down the right and into the area before cutting the ball back to the penalty spot, where the Welshman arrived on cue to dispatch a cool finish low into the far corner for a first Arsenal goal in over a year.
Quick Break
United now needed a response, and Vidic headed down and wide from a corner.
Park released Evra down the left channel, but Clichy covered across quickly to bundle the ball out for a corner.
There was concern for Arsenal when centre-half Johan Djourou fell awkwardly and had to be replaced by Sebastien Squillaci on 60 minutes.
United sent on Dimitar Berbatov, back from a groin injury, and had another free-kick in a dangerous position following Ramsey's handball. Szczesny, though, was right behind Rooney's flick.
The young Pole then made an impressive save at the near post after Nani was played in by a quick break from Rooney.
Van Persie chipped the ball across goal after breaking down the left as Arsenal looked for a killer second goal.With five minutes left, United sent on Michael Owen and the former England striker was screaming for a penalty when he looked to have been tripped by Clichy, but again the officials were unmoved.
Arsenal closed out four minutes of stoppage time to claim a victory which was probably greeted with just as loud a cheer across in west London.
Sharpshooting Jones gives Heat big lift off the bench
MIAMI -- It was what most concerned the Celtics, that the big three from the Heat would be tough to defend in Game 1. In this instance, however, that's the big three, lowercase.
As in, the daggers dropped on them by James Jones from deep.
This was not a pretty game to open a much-anticipated second-round series. But it was pretty unexpected. Yes, when Rajon Rondo gets locked up early by Mike Bibby -- have those words ever been typed before-- and disappears, when Kevin Garnett is good for three buckets, and when the damaging 3-point shots come not from Ray Allen but Ray Allen Lite, then you get Heat 99, Celtics 90, and very little drama.
Jones hit five of his seven shots taken from 3-point range, and that doesn't begin to describe his impact. After Jones hit his third shot, the Celtics were giving him the same respect reserved for LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. This is a player, mind you, who averaged only seven points in the first round against Philly. And who, at best, was Miami's No. 6 option all season.
Also, while the game was perhaps over by the midway pint of the fourth quarter, the Celtics had to make do without Paul Pierce. His ejection with seven minutes left didn't help.
Wade crashed into a pick set by Pierce, who exchanged words. Both were hit with technicals, and it was the second for Pierce and an automatic thumb.
Here's crew chief Dan Crawford:
"It's what we call a verbal taunt. He directed profanity towards Wade. And in the rulebook, that is a verbal taunt."
Pierce refused to comment after the game. Wade said Pierce used "a bunch of gibberish" which, we are to assume, contained some concise four-letter words.
A case could be made that Pierce shouldn't have been ejected at all; his "crime" was a borderline technical. Or that Pierce should've been thumbed a minute earlier, when he threw the softest head-butt you'll ever see -- but a head-butt (nose-butt?) nonetheless -- after getting a rough foul from Jones.
Crawford: "He approached Jones and got right in his face. There wasn't a head-butt, but he got right into his face after a hard foul."
Regardless, Pierce became unraveled without being harshly provoked. That should never happen to a veteran, especially one with as much postseason experience as Pierce. Perhaps he got sucked into the pre-game rhetoric, with Wade and LeBron explaining how much they "hate" losing to the Celtics. Or maybe it was the beating the Celtics were taking at the time, administered partly by Jones, whose 25 points were a big and unexpected bonus for Miami.
Anyway, the Celtics were without one of their weapons for the stretch run, costly considering Boston was, in a sense, already without Rondo.
"I thought both were flagrant fouls," said Celtics coach Doc Rivers. "They were not called. Instead of walking away like we should've done, we reacted, like they wanted us to do."
Some quick hits:
• Rondo must be on the floor. Clearly, he's the difference-maker in the series because of his obvious advantage over the point guards thrown his way by Miami. Still, Rondo played only eight minutes in the first half when dogged by three fouls. The game got out of hand and the Celtics never really recovered. As he showed in the first round against the Knicks, and all last summer, Rondo makes the Celtics roll. But he was hassled by Bibby, never found a groove and finished with only eight points, seven assists and five turnovers.
The player most affected was Garnett, who took only nine shots, scored six points and wasn't a factor against Chris Bosh.
"Those two guys have the best instincts on our team," said Rivers. "They both played with the right spirit, it just didn't go well."
• Wade was bent on breaking through against Boston. Wade was concealed and controlled by the Celtics in the regular-season series, when he averaged a measly 12.8 points on 28 percent shooting. But Wade was aggressive from the start and seemed determined to change that. He scored 23 of his 25 points in the first half .
"I wasn't giving it to (the Celtics) in the regular season," said Wade. "My guys were dependant on me."
Rivers: "That's why he's the second-greatest player to come out of Marquette."
• Jones is doing what Mike Miller and Bibby can't. That is, hit the open jumper. Miller played eight minutes and was, in a word, awful. And another word: scared. He did whatever possible to avoid shooting, treating the ball like a hot match and getting rid of it quickly, sometimes forcing passes that became turnovers. Bibby, too, lacked confidence and passed up jumpers. There's nothing worse than a shooter who's afraid to shoot. He's little to no use to his team.
At least the Heat had Jones, who looked like he was back at the Long Distance Shootout at All-Star Weekend. If you recall, he beat Ray Allen and Pierce in that contest, and both Celtics were admittedly embarrassed to lose to someone who's a decent shooter but not in their league from a career or reputation standpoint. When the Celtics began to run at Jones in Game 1, they wound up fouling often and sent Jones to the line 10 times, and he didn't miss.
"A lot of that was us, but I don't care if you make a mistake defensively or not, the guy still has to make it," said Rivers. "And he made them."
• This was Miami's game to lose. So there was more of a burden on the Heat than the Celtics. It was the Heat who lost three of four games during the regular season, who must measure themselves against the defending East champs, and who own home-court advantage. A Celtics' win on Tuesday will erase any stink from Game 1.
"We'll study film and see what we need to do better and come out ready," vowed Garnett.
• Udonis Haslem and Shaquille O'Neal must really be hurting. Or else they would've played in Game 1. As a result, can the Celtics and Heat really expect much from either player? Shaq hasn't played much in three months while Haslem hasn't suited up since November. That's a lot of rust and cobwebs to shake, if they do return this series. Miami probably needs Haslem more than the Celtics need Shaq.
"We'll continue to evaluate and work him," said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. "But he's not there yet."
