WILLS and Kate took to the floor for their first dance to the sound of Adele’s Make You Feel My Love.

And the tears flowed as the couple kissed to the delight of family and friends.
Adele’s hit – written by Bob Dylan – had become such a ­favourite of the couple they asked the star to perform it in person at the black tie bash.
One guest at the Buckingham Palace party said: “Sadly, she couldn’t be there but they played the song and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house – even from them.”
Yesterday chart star Ellie Goulding, 24, told how she ­serenaded the couple with her version of Elton John’s Your Song, one of William’s mum Princess Diana’s favourite songs.
She said: “It was an amazing honour to be asked by Kate and William to perform. The ­atmosphere was incredible.
It’s a night I will never forget.”
The new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge stayed until the early hours partying with 300 of their pals and family before the diehards headed off for a “survivors’ breakfast” after a massive fireworks show in the palace garden.
Party planners Prince Harry and Kate’s sister Pippa, 27, turned the ­palace Throne Room into a trendy nightclub with mirror balls, neon lights and a chillax area.
A massive sound ­system was delivered for the bash while guests feasted on langoustines from top caterers ­Mosimann’s.
William and Kate made sure kitchen staff weren’t forgotten with a flow of cakes and pizza for the behind-the-scenes workers.
Guests didn’t even have to queue for a royal wee because planners ­installed 20 luxury, portable, purple superloos in the grounds. Harry, 26, emerged looking the worse for wear and bleary-eyed at 3.20am in a minibus ­believed to be taking him and other guests to the after-party at the nearby Goring Hotel
The prince, joined by girlfriend Chelsy Davy, 25, earlier had guests in stitches with his quips at William’s and other royal relatives’ expense.
“You’ve heard about the frog that turned into a prince? Well…” laughed Harry nodding towards William in a dig about his thinning hair.
And guest Susie Lea, a friend of the Middleton family, said a gag from Charles brought the palace down.
She said: “The Prince of Wales made a few jokes about his bald patch and his son’s bald patch, saying it must be hereditary.”
Charles also joked how he hoped William would look after him in old age, adding: “He might just push my wheelchair off a cliff.”
The Prince later confessed he’d lost his voice because of the late night at the bash.
In a more serious tone Charles praised family newcomer Kate in his speech, saying: “We are lucky to have her.”
Harry’s girlfriend Chelsy was spotted leaving in a royal car with Princess Eugenie, 21, and sister Princess Beatrice, 22, who managed to appear in ­another eye-popping dress.
The revealing, gem-studded, backless frock gave a perfect view of Bea’s shapely legs.
William’s old flame Jecca Craig, 28, who once went through a pretend engagement with him, shared a minibus with Harry and other guests.
The duke’s cousin Lady ­Amelia Spencer, 18, was also seen emerging in the early hours in a low-cut party dress.
Yesterday Pippa still looked cool as she checked out of the Goring with brother James, 23, mum Carole, 56, and dad Michael, 62.
