The King's Car
I didn't realised when we booked to go to London that the weekend would land on Remembrance Sunday - the gig we were going to was cancelled from March. So when we realised, we decided we'd stop off at the centre of the city, to extend our weekend visit. We were aware of quite a lot of people, police and barriers along the Mall. It was coming up to 11:30am and we had a hunch it might be worth hanging around the area in case the new King came by, and we overheard a young policeman talking to tourists saying he was due to come by very soon, although he wasn't aware of the exact route. JJ and I changed our minds about staying there as it appeared too quiet, so we started to walk away, and then suddenly, back towards the palace blue lights of the police escort motorbikes were flashing. I quickly grabbed my camera just as the royal car started to turn off! I assume King Charles was in it cos it was the leading car and you can just see the Royal Standard flag. How frustrating that moments early we were on that corner and could almost have reached out and touched the car!!
