Coronation Day

Today has unfortunately not gone to plan. The coronation garden party was poorly planned and we ended up not getting access. We decided to do the crazy thing (extra crazy because of the rain) then and brave the crowds at Westminster Abbey. No words to describe the number of people, and we didn't get to see anything exciting. (Though did hear Big Ben strike at mid day. And I found a squirrel). We made a hasty exit though and had a drink at the pub before retreating to our warm and dry room. We've not stopped since we got here and a few hours to just be still was much needed. It's not takes us long to get board though so now we're heading back to Westminster to see what can be seen...AND we've managed to score tickets to Phantom of the Opera tonight. I've seen it before but it's exciting to see it in its home theatre.

PS - Decided to come back to Westminster before we head off to dinner and got a few photos.Read more
