I know it's related to a very sad event, but it made me smile because it's Londoners behaving well and giving the lie to the whole "us vs. them" thing that is currently popular in some circles.
Most of the country is much more like this picture.
On Westminster Bridge today.

Over the last 28 years we have missed so many family celebrations so I'm really chuffed about our visit this time.
Roll on June
