Queen's Birthday!!

"Trooping the Colour"

This morn we wandered over to the Queen's Birthday parade. Didn't realize SHE would be there!!! Unfortunately we did not get an invite her her B'day Bash. (I'll let it go this time!) We didn't know that this parade was going on until last night... we definitely lucked out!

Here she is looking ravishing in peacock blue (her favorite color). The elderly lady next to us told me that the Queen used to ride a horse in her birthday parade. (OH btw... her birthday is not today it was in April; they just celebrate it today.) To the right you can see her and her husband Prince Phillip.

We also saw Prince Harry and Prince William and Camilla. They all rode together before the Queen came. Following the Queen was Prince Charles and Princess Anne.

After we bid the Queen adieu we hopped on a double decker bus and hit the sights of London. We saw Big Ben, the London Eye, the bridges and many other hot sites. Loving the wind in the face look!!!! We also got to see Platform 9 3/4!!!!
