That's right, your eyes are not deceiving you, the master builders in the UK's Legoland in Windsor have built a little diorama to celebrate a little event that you might have heard about – the wedding of HRH Prince William and Kate Middleton – a woman who was once a commoner such as yourselves!

It's probably the best thing come of the (media) event if the year, certainly better than the extra bank day holiday we're all getting over here. As a stay at home dad and freelancer, I get nothing out of that. Neither does my wife, as she runs her own business. Add to that, the fact that they're trying to to steal our thunder by getting married on the same day we did, and I'm glad we're going away for the whole weekend. Let's just hope they have better luck than another famous couple who wed on the 29th April: Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun!

The bank holiday will cost British businesses nearly three billion pounds in lost man hours – except of course those who deal in party food/booze and Union Jack bunting who are making a killing – the bride-to-be's parents included. Sure, they need some of that cash to cover the costs of the actual wedding, but let's not forget the extra cost to the taxpayer for all the additional security and transport – around 20 million last I heard.

Let us not dwell on the countless number of televisual treats lined up to get everyone 'excited' about the event. The BBC has been running hour-long shows celebrating every royal wedding they can dig out of the archives. Schedules have been cleared for blanket coverage of the day itself and people have already started camping out to get the best views; it's almost like Apple is releasing a new iPad! You crazy Yanks have even made a TV movie telling the exciting tale of the courtship and there's a plethora of apps for your iDevice to enhance the experience.

OK, rant over, sorry about that. I just wanted you all to know that, despite want you may be seeing on the news, not everyone in the UK is excited by the whole thing. What I wanted to concentrate on here is the fantastic little details that Lego's builders put into the minilands.

In addition to royal couple themselves, the diorama is completed by a swarm of camera crews, onlookers and even the Queen herself looking down on the proceedings from the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Even the statues and gargoyles are lovingly rendered in plastic bricks.

Just up the river a bit from Buckingham Palace, outside of the Mayor of London's building, we spotted another great British institution – The Doctor and his TARDIS, complete with his lovely assistant and faithful companion. I'm sure the Whovians amongst you could even tell us which doctor and assistant it's supposed to be.

If you follow their gaze, you can see the reason they seem to be here. Perched halfway up the Canary Wharf Tower is a solitary Dalek, prepping for invasion.

Round the corner in Leicester Square, the (Joel Schumacher era) Batmobile is parked, whilst Batman and Robin battle the baddies.

Speaking of baddies, over in Florida at the John F. Kennedy Space Center you can see Lord Vader drilling a squad of Stormtroopers, and hiding out in the shadows of the Space Shuttle's booster rockets you can find Obi-Wan and Yoda, lightsabers at the ready.

The minilands are like one of those great movies or books that you find something new in every time you visit. I'm positive I haven't seen them all yet, but I look forward to hunting them down on every trip. And it's not just in the minilands where the master builders excel themselves, check out this life-size Chewbricka in the shop! Also new in the shop this year are custom minifigs. After the success of the collectible series, you can now build three of your own little fellas from a selection of pieces and buy them in a special box for only a fiver.

What other "Easter Eggs" have you guys spotted on visits to your local Legoland? I'd love to know in the comments.
