I loved C and C with the dragons, and it looked like Camilla had a fun time cooking.

they are lions

Thank you, Spheno, The dancers in yellow were certainly a lion. It's possible the dancers in red were a dragon but it seemed too small to me.

no, red one was a lion too.

The two types of dances are often confused, even though the Lion Dance is performed by a pair of dancers while a Dragon Dance features a team of approximately twelve dancers or more.



In a dragon dance, the performers can be seen since the long dragon prop is held upright with poles. However, in a lion dance the faces of the performers are usually not seen as they are inside the lion costume. Furthermore, a proper Lion Dance requires significantly more training as Chinese martial arts movements are involved.

It doesn't surprise me one bit. Just recently here in the States, a well known American beer, Pabst Blue Ribbon, was bought out by a Russian company.

How lovely of them to support something started by her brother.

Mark's nephew Ben Elliot supports this endeavor through his Quintessentially Foundation.

It was nice to see the family together to continue Mark's legacy.

Racing is usually a serious business for the royal family but at Ascot today, Prince Charles was met a sight so comical it triggered a fit of giggles.

He and Camilla, Duchess of Cambridge, joined onlookers at the Lamb National, in which agile Herdwick sheep hurtle around a specially-built course, leaping over special jumps on a grassy course.

The event, which was part of the Prince's Countryside Fund Raceday, clearly tickled Charles who was forced to cover his face as he roared with laughter at the farm animals' antics.

Charles face- and the sheep-
Why am I reminded of All Creatures Great and Small?
Love the horse costume - want to give him a hug.

I loved this project from concept through today. The idea was grand (thank you, Your Highness) and the execution looks wonderful.
