Day 4 - Ma'ams House

Ok so I will admit I am a fan of the Royal Family, the pomp and ceremony and in particular Her Majesty, I get the republican stuff, it all comes down to personal persuasion. That said, visiting Buckingham Palace, The Royal Mews and the Gallery was a special experience.  Here is us at 'the front door'...

And at the back door after putting the milk bottles out....

The shear history involved and setting foot inside "Head Office" to also view a special exhibition and collection of HM's coronation memorabilia was very unique. Again no pictures were allowed inside, but memories last forever.

We didn't stay too long in the gallery...

Eyeing off Queen Victoria... She seemed a tough old nut..

We can see why some of the folk looked a bit annoyed... You would too wearing this...

And as for MC Hammer inventing THOSE pants.... Sorry mate it has been done a long time before you...

The Royal Mews were interesting.... Hearing about the purpose of each carriage and when they are used, and why they are used.

An interesting point regarding the royal cars... They are specially built so that Her Majesty can be standing upright before "alighting".

And this guy, with the giant cigarette lighter, needs to put his pants on properly before having his next statue made! His gym membership looks like it is paying off! Yup it is a boy lion too.

We enjoyed a lovely cuppa following the tour.... Needed it as there was a LOT of walking!
