\nJohn Laughrey shows off his royal enthusiasm <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n \n<\/p>\n \nJohn Loughrey, the man dubbed the “Diana Super Fan” by the British press, has been camping out in front of Westminster Abbey since Monday, hoping to secure a great view of Friday's wedding ceremony between Prince William and Kate Middleton.\n<\/p>\n \n \n<\/p>\n \nAlthough sleeping outside for a week shows impressive dedication, this is not Loughrey's most extreme run-in with royalty. In 2007, he quit his job so he could attend all 89 sessions of the inquest into Princess Diana's death.\n<\/p>\n \n \n<\/p>\n \nAs we creep closer to the big day, a small tent city is popping up behind Loughrey, with more royal enthusiasts arriving each hour.\n<\/p>\n \n \n<\/p>\n \nThe Super Fan, however, is ill-prepared for the rain which is predicted to fall during Friday’s nuptials. The tent-less Loughrey admitted to TIME, “I don't mind if it rains on me. I don't want it to rain on Catherine or William. I want it to be a nice day so people can celebrate with their flags, and express joy.” \n<\/p>\n \n \n<\/p>\n
