    Started the day with a run around the Thames with Krissi. Nice way to see the sights and get some steps in.
    Then we took the kids to Buckingham Palace - which was very busy - and were treated to an impromptu marching band or three.
    Preparations are well underway for the coronation - we even got a photo in front of the Australian flag, which has pride of place as one of the closest Commonwealth Flags to the palace. Why that made us slightly proud I have no idea….
    Then it was off to the West End to a really nice food hall for lunch.
    Did a spot of shopping and then it was Hamilton at the Victoria Palace Theatre. Amazing - best musical I’ve ever seen. Met an Australian girl from Sydney who was our usher - she recognised the Adelaide accent and gave us some great tips about the best bathrooms in the venue!
    Came out and the weather had turned - pissing down. Had a drink in a bar and out for pizza but that’s the day done - it’s not an outdoor city when the weather turns.
