Westminster Abbey just
after the Royal Wedding but before the Queen's Diamond Jubilee (Shot
May 2011)

Another view of the Abbey in May 2011 still with the
patina of age on the stonework before it was completely cleaned off for
the Jubilee. I liked it better before. To the left of the picture is
St Margaret's and through the trees, in the distance, the clock tower
called Big Ben; a misnomer for that's the bell that strikes the hour.

The Burghers gave
themselves up to the British during the Siege of Calais in order to save
the town. Their lives were spared by the insistence of the British
commander's wife in order to bring good luck to their unborn child.
Rodin's statue recalling the event is in Victoria Tower Gardens close to
the Houses of Parliament.

Still in Victoria
Tower Garden the memorial to the abolition of the slave trade. The long
wall behind the memorial is part of the Mill Bank embankment to the
Thames.

The Cenotaph, a memorial to
those in the armed forces who have died in battle. Originally it was
for those who fell in the Great War (1914-1918) and for that reason the
time and date it is officially remembered on the anniversary of its
armistice; the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, 11 o'clock on
the 11th of November 1918.
