London 28 April 2011

It was good to have a walk around in London today to see how things looked before tomorrow's big event. Regent Street was decked out with Union Jacks for its full length.

In front of Buckingham Palace there were structures on each side of The Mall to accommodate the world's press. This is just one small section of one side.

And the other side.

Crush barriers were in place.


Hundreds of Portaloos had been delivered from Wales !


There were towers erected along The Mall for the press cameras.

People were already camping out, and some had come quite a distance.


Some not so far.

Others were settled in chairs.

Parliament Square is festooned with Union Jacks.

More camping out, this time by the Abbey.

Westminster Abbey was closed to the public. Was this the red carpet waiting to go down, or is this just some spare ?!!


On the sign outside mention of the wedding is fairly low key !


A Pearly Queen happy to pose for photos.

And from this shot who would guess that there was so much activity all around, and that it will be the centre of attention in just a few more hours.

  3. Hi Minni Mac! I LOVED reading this post on your blog! What great pictures! I wanted to thank you for leaving a comment on my blog and to also let you know that I did a long tutorial and pictures on the Tshirts about a year ago. It's in the archives of my blog if you want to check it out. It's so easy...you would not believe it! It's done with bleach and vinegar. <3 Candy
