15 photos of people freaking out over the royals

In case you hadn't heard yet, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (Will & Kate!) landed in BC over the weekend and made their way through Vancouver on Sunday. They flew into the harbour on a float plane and were greeted by hordes of people at Jack Poole Plaza, then toured Sheway, TELUS Gardens and the newly reopened coast guard station. While their jaunt through the plaza was the only official event people were invited to, excited royal watchers followed them around all day and were happy to post on social. Here are a few of our favourites from Instagram.
