A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum

..... Well on the way back from it actually.

I was Chairing a meeting if the Recycle for London Steering Group in City Hall this morning. At the end of the morning it being such a nice day I decided to walk to my next appointment near Charing Cross. I was wandering past HMS Belfast when I noticed quite a crowd had gathered. Unpeturbed I walked through the crowd and past the small group if police officers on my way to Hays Galleria ..... and almost bumped in HRH The Duke of Edinburgh as he got out of his Ranger Rover!

By the time I got my camera out he was walking up the gang plank on to the ship to greet some veterans who were assembled to meet him on the deck.

Last time I was that close to HRH DoE he was presenting m Gold Badge in 1979!

You can just make back of his head out in this picture.
