We attended the trooping of the colors today. It was magnificent. The British are really good at ceremonies. We stood along the Mall with thousands of others. I was hoping to get a photo of the Queen, and sure enough I got a bunch. When I look at HRH and the Duke I am reminded of the Beatles song on the Abbey Road album - Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl, but she doesn't have a lot to say. The Prince looks like he is about to lose his hat.

Nice and fascinating, too. He does look a tad bored, though. Seems funny they can ride out in public and not even feel threatened.

That is awesome! Do you think the big had the prince is wearing is just an insulated beer helmet (aka foam dome)?

Great shot, John! I think he is hoping he will lose his hat.
