York's tourist season is in full swing, and the city centre is very busy with visitors here to see all the many attractions.
The Spring Bank Holiday is awash, but here are some hardy souls armed with umbrella's and water-proof clothing, indulging in that well known British past time, queueing!
They are all patiently waiting to enter the Jorvik Centre in York. The centre is in Coppergate and time travels back to Viking York, complete with a reconstruction of how York might have looked and smelt in Viking times.
Like good boy scouts the centre is prepared for the weather and hands out umbrellas to those queueing.
Fun shot, Katharine. I was just thinking how lucky you were to find a group with matching umbrellas! I've always been impressed by the Brits' ability to queue.
Great and nice street candid of a British quality , keep waiting in line.
Thank you for you visits , you so nice comments and the fav.`s I`m very pleased with each and all of them. I own you one ( No several)
I guess you're accustomed to the English weather as I see, people come prepared and umbrella hand outs are so welcome. all a part of an English spring.
@pyrrhula Thanks Ferry. The queue was very orderly. Unfortunately no one was entertaining them although several of the centres staff were chatting to those waiting. . I just fav the pictures I really really like. Katharine
@lhart Thanks Lynn. The attraction is worth a visit, you travel in" time cars" and have a commentary round Viking York complete with life size models, sound and smell effects.,
There is then an opportunity to see some of the archaeological finds
from the Viking era. Katharine
@vignouse Thanks Richard. I did feel sorry for those waiting although most would wait less than 20 mins. The queue is often so long that there is over an hours wait. Katharine
