Well that was exciting – seeing The Queen this afternoon in Richmond Park with the road lined with well wishers – lots of lovely little children with home made crowns and flags all cheering their little hearts out. All this despite the weather which could not have been more dreadful – hailstones even. So it was more “ALL HAIL THE CROWD” rather than the Queen…
I actually got a few glimpses of the Queen and the Duke and I’m disappointed now that I didn’t bring my zoom lens camera or a chair. Nevermind. Here are a few to show you – but if any of you out there got some better photos please can you send me yours?:-
Security quite high on the one hand and yet nobody checked any of us:-
The rather gorgeous Mr Goldsmith:-
The skies before the first hailstorm:-
It’s MAY for goodness sake:-
Princess Alexandra:-
Sir David Attenborough – the only one without an umbrella – but then again he’s used to it:-
Lovely Jubilee crowd:-
They’re Here!!
Another mum took this one:-
This one is funny – looks like the man to the right has a very long tie on:-
Not the best photo but at least I’ve got them together AND the mayor of Richmond (I think):-
Strolling about in the hail and rain with her see-through umbrella:-

May 16, 2012It really made me giggle whoever it was:-) I was looking at your photos as my son was there with his school and when he came back he wasn’t sure if he saw the Queen or not. I showed him your photos and yes, he confirmed he definitely saw her:-) So thank you!

May 16, 2012Oh good – glad I could help your son sort out who was who! Lx

May 25, 2012Thank you so much for posting the photos – my son was also there and it looks like he is in one of your photos (very exciting to come across it today when searching on google!) I was actually looking on google for my friend as her daughter gave the queen a bunch of flowers and like us, she wasn’t there to take photos. I don’t suppose you have any more photos from the day – I’d love to have a look to see if my son is in anymore and also if my friend’s daughter is in any as well. Many thanks!

Family Affairs
