London

We leave for home tomorrow, so we wanted to milk our last day for all it was worth and I think we did.


The first stop was at Buckingham Palace and the Queen Victoria
Queen Consort
Camilla

Memorial.  Both are truly impressive.  The day continued with a walk along St. James Park to Westminster Abbey.  We were part of a small crowd that attended a communion service lead by David Hoyle, Dean of Westminster.  Of course
Queen Victoria Memorial

the church is amazing.  As we walked along the outside of the church I questioned a couple of police officers as to why there were so many of them outside the church.  The first said, "There is a private event going on inside".  
We walked a little further and I asked another and this one said "we're waiting for the Queen Consort to come out".  So the three of us walked to the other side of the street, waited three minutes and got some great photos.   

We also took some good pictures of the
Westminster
Abbey

London Eye, Big Ben and of Parliament but were not so lucky getting photos of number 10 Downing Street.   

After a nice but quick lunch we walked to Trafalgar Square and attended a play in the West End. Agatha Christie's "The Mouse Trap" has been running
continuously for 70 years.  We left the theater and headed directly to a Double Decker I’mBus tour of London's Christmas lights.  The day ended with a walk along the Thames river and a stop at our last Christmas Market in Europe.
