The pleasant noisemakers made famous at last summer’s South African World Cup may be banned from the 2012 Olympics, but that doesn’t mean you should throw them out just yet. A Facebook page has sprung up encouraging Royal Wedding enthusiasts the nation over to head over to Westminster Abbey on April 29th, and and help the young couple rejoice in their newly tied knot by serenading them with the sweet, melodic sounds of the South African Sax.

As you’ll recall, and as the above video illustrates, not only does Prince William love the vuvuzela, he is also a skilled player of the instrument. Let’s all make his Royal Wedding the best Royal Wedding ever!
