RIP (Explore)

The only photo I managed to take of Queen Elizabeth II. This was taken at Tweedbank Station at the opening of the Borders Railway on 9 September 2015. She arrived quite late as her flight had been delayed by bad weather at Balmoral...In Edinburgh she transferred to a special steam hauled train.

Taking this picture wasn't easy, standing as I was in a large crowd, holding the camera with a long lens above my head! (by the way I love the buttons on her jacket!)

Thank you ma'am and rest in peace, gone but not forgotten.
