At one point I was standing right next to the Queen, as she did a walk about. And I was in a crowd estimated to be 1,000,000, in front of Buckingham Palace for one of the famous balcony appearances. Well, twice. Once on Jubilee Day and once for the Queen's official birthday.

All of my photos are contained on color slides. I'm hoping to transfer them to a more user friendly media, real soon.
