Final preparations are underway at All Saints' Church in the Cotswolds village of Kemble ahead of Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling's wedding tomorrow.
The picturesque venue has been shut to visitors since Thursday, with a notice fixed to the gate using white ribbon informing the public of the closure.
"The church will be closed to the public for a private event from Thursday, 4th June until late afternoon of Saturday, 6th June," the sign stated, adding: "We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding."
The notice bore the Thameshead Benefice logo, the organisation overseeing nine churches across the Cotswolds region.

Once the couple exchange vows, guests will travel to Princess Anne's Gatcombe Estate for the wedding reception.
Delivery vans arrived at the church earlier this week, with workers spotted transporting elaborate decorations inside the building.
Among the items unloaded were golden candelabras, which were swiftly covered to protect them from the wet weather.
Greenery and foliage have also been positioned within the church porch as part of the venue's transformation.

Organisers have been working through challenging conditions, with rain hampering some of the setup work.
The weather may continue to pose difficulties for the couple, as the Met Office has predicted showers for Saturday's ceremony.
Despite the forecast, preparations appear to be progressing smoothly at the Gloucestershire venue, with the couple clearly keen to ensure every detail is in place before their guests arrive tomorrow.
The ceremony will be a relatively intimate affair by royal standards, with just 150 guests expected to witness NHS nurse Harriet walk down the aisle.
Senior members of the Royal Family are expected to attend, with Princess Anne, the groom's mother, naturally among them.

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are also expected to be in attendance.
However, several family members have been left off the guest list, including Peter's cousin Prince Harry.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson have similarly not received invitations to the celebration.
The couple first announced their engagement in August 2025, with Harriet subsequently joining Peter for her inaugural visit to Balmoral.
They confirmed their wedding date and venue in April this year.
