Bank Holiday

Today I visited the Horseguards of the Household Cavalry Regiment at Whitehall. Two mounted guards are posted at the Parliament Street Gate plus a third roaming the courtyard. A woman informs me that the walker is her son. In the photo below she is seen telling him it's raining.

Yes woman, it is. Now leave the man along so he doesn't get chewed out by his Staff Corporal.

This took place about half a mile north of Big Ben. (Go Steelers)



Next, out of nowhere, a mass of protester march up the street towards Trafalgar Square. The rally was organised by Strangers Into Citizens. The action they are promoting seems to make sense.




As they passed by, I retired to the Red Lion to get out of the rain and devour some Beef & Ale Pie.
