The Sun expects 3bn to watch royal wedding

So how many people are going to watch the big royal wedding ? The Daily Telegraph reckons a cool one billion or more, which sounds like quite a lot. But it's nothing compared to the Sun's estimate, which plumps for a "worldwide audience of up to 3 BILLION" – roughly 45% of the world's population. No wonder they put it in capitals, although we can't help but feel they are being a tad optimistic. The joy of the phrase "up to", eh?
