VE Day 70th Anniversary Celebrations and Mummy and Daddy's 15th Wedding Anniversary -10th May 2015

Today is my Mummy and Daddy's 15th Wedding Anniversary.

Look how young they look Mummy is 23 and Daddy 25 years old.

Happy Anniversary!

Ready to start today's adventure.

Breakfast eaten, now time to explore.

In the 1800's this was one of the busiest docks in the world.

Today it is a financial district and has lots of fun statues.

Which one is William?

I just couldn't resist keeping my hands out the water.

A lot of money is made (and lost) here, in the financial district.

That train disappears into the building!

On to Westminster.  My favourite London sight, Big Ben.

Today ends the three day celebration marking 70 years since V E Day (the end of World War II in Europe).  This is the cenotaph a war memorial situated on Whitehall and part of today's special parade route.

Horse Guard Parade, the location of a reception for the special people we are celebrating today.

Ready for the parade of current service personnel and the special veterans of the World War.

The Queen and other members of the Royal family are hosting a special service of thanksgiving  just up the road in Westminster Abbey.  We listened to the service over loud speakers.

Trafalgar Square in the distance.

The start of the parade.

The marching bands.

The Navy.

The Air force.

The veteran heroes. All very happily waving and enjoying their special day.

The Chelsea Pensioners.

The red arrows making a flypast.

The Band of the Grenadier Guards performing in Trafalgar Square.

Lots of special decorations.

I loved all the flags waving.

Back on the tube.

Harrod's or Harold's as I call it, toy department.

Another of my underground pictures.  My regular readers will know I like to collect pictures of myself at every station I visit.

Time to travel back to Euston. This is a Victoria Line Train.

What a great weekend, time to go home.

Here is a video Daddy took as the parade past us.
