At Buckingham Palace, Kate and William depart in Aston Martin (PHOTOS)

(Screen grab from BBC twitter stream ) Prince William and Kate Middleton just departed Buckingham Palance in a blue Aston Martin with a sign that read: JUST WED.

The Aston Marin DB6 was blue, open top, had balloons attached, and had L, or learner, plates. It’s owned by Prince Charles and runs on on E85 bioethanol made from English wine wastage. Prince William was driving (on the right side, of course).

The car was joined by a Search and Rescue helicopter flown by members of the same squadron that William is a member.

Watch a video of their departure:
