Millions of TV viewers across the globe watched the wedding at the 700-year-old building in April.

The newly refurbished National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh was the most visited attraction outside of London. The Riverside Museum in Glasgow and the Museum of Liverpool were also popular.

Bernard Donoghue, Director of ALVA, commented: "The figures demonstrate that for Brits who holidayed at home in record numbers last year and for overseas visitors who came to the UK in record numbers last year, our iconic attractions are a 'must see' and a 'must experience."
