Nearly as scary as Daddy in a strop... no wonder his students all passed their exams!

Some dodgy looking soldiers hassling farm animals... and they're not Welsh Guards ;D ;D ;D

Very touristy but not quite a Tardis!

I tried to get her nicked in front of Buckingham Palace but the WPC was too nice, even when I name dropped members of my family in the firearms unit :o

Caption for #2:
"Oi! Can't you read? The sign says "Keep off the grass", doesn't it?!"

"But... but we're on the grass..."

Good looking shots Mark...well done... :)

Is it my eyes or is that lady constable missing her weapon, it would seem rather silly wearing an empty weapon belt... :)

Good spot there Doug, those old eyes are still working well. Actually this nice WPC is with the Met. firearms team (same as my cousin) but she was asked to do crowd photo opportunities and being in such close proximity with the public turned over her pistol to another officer for safe keeping.... some people get silly ideas when they see a gun.
That said she was backed up by a couple of officers with MP5s and several soldiers with SA80s so I don't think she was too worried ;D ;D ;D

I was wondering, too... over here, she'd have an M16 strapped to her chest, a pistol on her belt, a can of Mace, and probably a nasty little knife on her ankle.  ;D
