60th Anniversary of the End of World War II Celebrations: July 10, 2005

[A.C.C.]

Tomorrow the major events involving the Royal Family to mark the 60th anniversary of the end of WWII will take place. There will be a service at Westminster Abbey, a parade at Horse Guards, a lunch in the gardens of Buckingham Palace, and the Royal Family will make a balcony appearance at Buckingham Palace. There will hopefully be many pictures of this eventful day.

I like yellow near uniforms.

There are so many events today - the reception, the ceremony on Horse Guards Parade, the balcony...
I hope to see MANY pictures.


Oh, she changed her dress. Again an "old" one.
OMG, Philip is smiling. I mean: a real, normal smile! I'd like he did it more often.

I wonder why Edward wore the uniform. A bad choice for someone who whimped out, in my opinion.

What on earth is that thing on Camilla's head? She looks as though she's wearing a flattened bearskin helmet.

Yes, it does!

Wonderful to see the whole Royal Family on the balcony, too bad William isn't there though, that would've made it more complete. Great celebrations, and a lot of people turned out to see the fly past it seems.
