Travelogue VII: London 2

 This day was to include a trip to view the changing of the guard at Horseguards







We arrived at Horse Guards in time to view all the actions in the square

the day before there had been a marathon, and the bleachers and other barricades were all still up, as there would be an 80th anniversary parade for the end of WWII in the same area in the next week.

we discovered this wee fox, taking in some sun and staying out of the way

he did not appear to be in tip top shape





these are only a selection of the shots we took



while the uniform has changed a bit since the Napoleonic era, this is certainly a good representation of the Household cavalry uniform.

 We got the last of instructions from our impromptu guide and headed out onto the Thames

the 'eye' by daylight is less impressive
