If you paid attention to the news around the time of Kate and William’s wedding, you might possibly remember this: an excited verger doing cartwheels of joy down the aisle at Westminster Abbey after the royal couple had left.

This footage makes me smile. I hope we all have the chance to do similar happy cartwheels (literally or metaphorically – or both!) in 2012. May it be a bright and shiny year full of success.
