You'd think they would have traditional rifles. They looked out of place with the traditional uniforms. Maybe costs too much!<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the day. You got some lovely shots.Winifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-59519303403526566942011-06-12T22:21:50.088+01:002011-06-12T22:21:50.088+01:00I was able to watch the Trooping of the Colour on ...I was able to watch the Trooping of the Colour on Austrian TV, imagine! <br /><br />Wonderful images of London, thank you!Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-800432672506453952011-06-12T21:18:25.050+01:002011-06-12T21:18:25.050+01:00I did not know those very interesting things about...I did not know those very interesting things about the horses and horsemen. The evening news pointed out that Prince William was one of the horseman, but I would never have known his being so covered up by the hat. I don't know how they can see a thing. The evening news also told us that there was polite clapping for the Queen and loud cheers for the Duchess of Cambridge. Whatever for? ;> I mean the Queen has made it to her 85th birthday and that is something to truly celebrate.<br /><br />Back to April...you are so good to take pictures of the signs made by the protestors even if you have little in common with their protests (I am assuming a lot here).Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-50019878335392593852011-06-12T14:17:03.962+01:002011-06-12T14:17:03.962+01:00Your posts remind me that it has been too long sin...Your posts remind me that it has been too long since I have been in London solely for pleasure.
