We've been to London to see the Queen!!


Today we went to the Trooping of the Colour ceremony. I just love all the pomp and ceremony.


The actual Trooping of the Colour is a ticketed event but if you can get close enough you can watch for free, but we werent able to see very much but we got a great spot along the Mall to watch all the royals in their handsome Landau carriages. First came Camilla waving and smiling to everyone. Leading each carriage was either soldier/guards on horses or on foot. The second carriage had Eugene & Beatrice and the final carriage had the Queen looking very glum. She didnt wave or smile at the crowd at all.


Following her carriage was Princess Anne and Prince Charles on horses.
