Default 60th Anniversary of the end of World War II celebrations- July 10, 2005

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.
