aye…free tickets aye come at a price….

It’s not often I’m embarrased, it’s usually the other way round.

LOL. Doubtless with your best… ‘I’m not here with her,’ look too. These folks that are very nice and then do that eh??

As a footnote, the reason I got to see the spectacle was because I was approached by a woman with two children who were going to see it but her husband, at the last minute, couldn’t go. She’d been trying to get tickets for 7 years and she wasn’t going to give up the opportunity now, which meant that she had a spare ticket and let me have it at the going rate, which was quite cheap really.

They were a nice family and of course I had to sit with them. We had seats at the front and the kids supplied me with sweets and lord knows what else, but I had to turn away when the lady dropped her programme over the barrier and it landed on top of a Grenadier Guard’s busby.

Awwwv, thank you. I go to say though…. Rehearsal??? THIS is only a rehearsal????? It beats any I’ve ever seen, been at, or taken…

Your wish is my command. I’ve updated the post to include the ‘below par’ pics.

A bit below par would still be worth seeing. Like that there won’t be many of them about.

I think I mentioned to you before that these pages on London were some of the earliest ones I’ve done and they really need updating. I took some pictures with a non-digital camera of the Trooping of the Colour rehearsal and I’ve scanned them since then. They may be a bit below par where quality is concerned but I should add them to the post really.
