The Queen has once again celebrated her official birthday, and once again the weather was good to her. She always appears to be lucky with the weather. The Changing of the Guard had its usual crowd of spectators, and for those who have never witnessed this, it is truly a spectacular sight.

In fact, there are many spectacular sights in London - the capital of England situated at the head of the Thames estuary, seat of our government, world centre of finance and communications. Cultural and artistic centre, and home to many historical bridges, museums, galleries, libraries and parks.

London is an education, it is seeped in history, and has something to interest everyone. The historical bridges all have their own stories to tell, the museums cover every aspect of life, while the galleries house some of the best art ever produced. Although a large busy city, some of the parks are quite amazing. A visit to Hyde Park is a must for visitors, especially Hyde Park Corner.

A trip down the river Thames is very educational, with good views of famous buildings such as Westminster, St. Paul's Cathedral , the Tower of London etc. The Crown Jewels in the Tower of London are magnificent and quite memorable. The river Thames was once one of the busiest ports in the country, but the upstream ports have now closed, but the downstream ports are still very busy.
