The last time I was in London, the Queen & King of Norway were visiting and their yacht pulled up across the river from where we were staying. We got to hear a gun salute from The Tower as the Queen's boat whisked them up the river. There was quite a ceremony involved in picking them up from their yacht. I loved watching it.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224553157260839191.post-22892346138511619322013-06-16T14:11:57.196+01:002013-06-16T14:11:57.196+01:00Must have frightened te hell out of tourists who d...Must have frightened te hell out of tourists who didn't know what was going on.

Great shot.
Ca...Yeah! You got that one just right!<br />Great shot.<br />Called the 'Kings troop' because George VI decided to keep this troop in 1947 for ceremonials while the rest were mechanised. The queen kept 'Kings' for a memory to her dad.<br />That picture is very much the way they operated with those guns in August 1914!<br />Except they got shot.<br />Adullamitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537659871829290071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224553157260839191.post-45377531893261974482013-06-16T09:57:31.756+01:002013-06-16T09:57:31.756+01:00I imagine it could give you a bit of a surprise if...I imagine it could give you a bit of a surprise if you just happened to be walking in the park at the time!jennyfreckleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12221511824958069710noreply@blogger.com
