Cigarette butts in Southend are being used to vote on whether the Royal wedding will be a success.

Southend BID installed the bin on the beach with a poll emblazoned on it and yesterday’s question was: “Harry and Meghan, will it last”.

So far, the voting seems steady with what looks like an equal number of votes between “Forever” and “No way”.

The Royal wedding had much of the world glued to their television screens on Saturday with people all over the globe delighted for the newlyweds.
