My dad took the obligatory photo of us standing next to the sentry with his bearskin hat. He took a movie also at at the end, you see my sister turn and look cautiously up into his face.

We saw the Changing of the Guard.

We went to Westminster Cathedral and my mother showed us Poets Corner- I have spoken to my sister about this - both of us were completely underwhelmed by this visit, but my mother was an English Lit major so I suppose that explains it.

We also visit the Tower of London. I remember going, but I do not remember seeing the Crown Jewels, even though I think we must have seen them.
