On Saturday I went to Buckingham Palace again... where they were showing the annual parade called 'Trooping of the Colour' in honour of Her Royal Majesty the Queens official birthday. In case you didn't know (I sure didn't) the Queen has two birthdays - an actual birth-day and an offical birthday.
Anyways in this parade there are thousands of troops all in their lovely uniforms of course and hundreds of horses, some canons, then the Queen and other Royals driving a long in a horse-drawn carriage to inspect the troops... and it all ends with the whole Royal Family showing up on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch the airborne troops so to say - with some dozen planes of all shapes and sizes. It was amazing.
You know, seeing Queen Elisabeth, Prince Philip, Prince Charles & Camilla, Edward & Sophie of Wessex, the Princes William and Harry... - it was all very surreal, like in a movie or fairytale or something..
ttfn, Hanna
