Marching by nicolaeastwood

Marching

I was attending a seminar at The Ritz today (the joy with which I greeted my Ritz pen, notepad and packet of mints possibly gave away the fact that I don't take tea there regularly!) Oh it is lovely!

Took a few not very good rather touristy snaps, which turned out not to be that great and wandered through Green Park, looking for today's shot. A Buckingham Palace Garden Party had just kicked out and everyone walking way was super smart, top hats and lovely dresses very much in evidence.

I heard marching and zoomed across the road to see these chaps leaving Buckingham Palace and marching down Constitution Hill. I liked the Bobby on the left and the chap in the top hat on the right.

Only in London!
Great capture surprised you escaped the seminar :-)

Hahaha......watched most of that in the office today, he is dull, best bit (regardless of your political persuasion) was when Ed Balls said something like "the PM calls him George, the President calls him Jeffrey but to the rest of us he's just Bungle!" :0)
