I couldn't resist snapping this Bobbie's photo - he's one of the guards in front of the Houses of Parliment, and he was kind enough to let me inside the grounds so that I could get a photo of the huge statue of Richard the Lionhearted - (you know the king from Robin Hood's time!)Although the sky was overcast, we ended up only needed our umbrella one time - the rest of the trip the weather was beautiful - in fact it was a little bit hot a couple of the days.
Did you know that Bobbie's are one of the few police forces that don't use guns? (Which is why when we were at the airport, waiting for our plane to Paris it was so weird to see the police patrolling - not just with guns, but with machine guns! But this gentleman was unarmed - except for his charming smile...
