As the excited couple begin the mad dash to finalise the little details before their big day, Pippa Middleton's fiance James Matthews has been seen popping out for a spot of last-minute shoe shopping.
Pippa has already been spotted making arrangements before Saturday's wedding but this is the first time James has been pictured getting ready for the event.
The busy-looking groom-to-be was seen wearing a white shirt, black trousers and a pair of trainers to help him run around central London yesterday.

The multi-millionaire hedge fund boss, 41, was seen carrying a rucksack and two high-end black shopping bags from the exclusive shoe-maker Edward Green, where formal shoes start from £900.
Pippa and James appear to be sparing no expense for their Berkshire nuptials.
They have reportedly organised a World War Two Spitfire to perform a vintage air display above the reception at the Middleton family home in Bucklebury, Berkshire, following the ceremony at nearby St Mark's Church.
Pippa's parents Carole and Michael are organising the reception and are said to have apologised to neighbours about the ‘inconvenience’.

The couple have also hired out a £100,000 glass marquee for the plush event to guard against any potential bad weather.
And they have also splashed out on luxury temporary bathrooms complete with oak fittings, porcelain basins, spot lighting and full-length mirrors, while the toilets are fitted with vacuum flushes, which work like those on a plane and are eco-friendly.
With just days to go before the big day, the posh portable toilets were delivered by lorry to the Middletons’ £5 million family home in Bucklebury, Berkshire yesterday.
One industry insider estimated the cost of the loos could easily top £6,000.
The huge glass marquee was shipped from Belgium and set up in the Middletons’ garden to host their wedding breakfast and evening festivities.

Meanwhile in London several garment bags – possibly containing bridesmaids’ outfits or even Miss Middleton’s hotly anticipated wedding dress – arrived at the £17 million Chelsea mansion she shares with Mr Matthews.
Although there will be 100 or so guests at St Mark's Church in the nearby village of Englefield for the ceremony, more than 300 are expected back at Middleton manor to dance the night away.
Sources have told the Mail that Pippa’s father is tearing his hair out at the complexity of the arrangements. ‘But he is hugely excited by everything, particularly in giving his youngest daughter away,’ they added.

Although the Middletons maintain the wedding is a private family event, the eyes of the world will be upon it as it is being attended by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry with his girlfriend, actress Meghan Markle.
Pippa’s niece and nephew will also take a starring role – Princess Charlotte, two, will be a bridesmaid while three-year-old Prince George will be a page boy.
