Cranbrook Representation in London to watch Royal Wedding

The Event is Over but the Feelings Remain:

Whatever you think of the monarchy, you cannot knock the uplifting experience, unification of spirit and just plain joy experienced by the people who watched or attended the Royal Wedding. Such dignity, beauty and pageantry for us out shines any other form of glitz and glamour. It gives hope, continuity of tradition and on a day such as this was, just plain happiness.

We, a group of Cranbrook friends on their way to a hiking holiday had not planned to attend this event but coincidentally our flights took us through London at the time. Knowing this was an opportunity not to be missed we arranged for a longer stop-over and we were not disappointed. Soaking up the atmosphere in London that day was uplifting and fun.  Eight Grannies waving Canadian flags were befriended by Bobbies, the Canadian Press, British Press and strangers. We loved every minute. A taste:
