Ah, London!  We had a great day of culture and sightseeing in the capital.  Thank you, Elchin for these excellent photos.

First stop:  Buckingham Palace for the Changing of the Guards.  Here they come!

The ceremony takes place outside the palace.

Symbols of London:  a telephone box, red double decker buses and a black London taxi.

Sightseeing:  Big Ben, The London Eye and the statue of Richard I outside the Houses of Parliament.

The fountain at Trafalgar Square.  Elchin and a street performer at Covent Garden.
