Our Anniversary! We started the day at Churchill's War Rooms, under the Whitehall complex. It was fascinating, and nearly identical to when the doors closed. We had coffee & scones in the cafe- the cream wasn't ready yet. The map room was most interesting to me. There were thousands of pinholes- each indicating the position where a ship had been. Definitely a high point of our journey.

We headed to Buckingham Palace and saw the guards outside. Then, two carriages arrived, and left with people in them. There was a rehearsal for Charles' birthday celebration, and I think one of the carriages had Pretend Princess Anne.

We walked through St. James' Gardens, then over to Westminster. The rehearsal parade wasn't anywhere near the schedule the police thought, so we headed back.

The horses are trained by riding them through the streets under different circumstances- and we saw them out & about.もっと詳しく
