Fraser family adventure
Day 4, by Warren
Today we began by watching the changing of the horse-mounted Queen's Guard. Edie and I kept pace with the new Guard as they made their way down the mall to Buckingham Palace. Once everyone had caught up we tubed to the Tower of London and discovered the fate of too many executed traitors, including three Queens of England and, most memorably, James Scot whose head took 5 swings of the axe before parting from his body. (And then he had to be stitched back on for a royal portrait!) We oohed and ahhed at the crown jewels and were reminded of just how young Queen Elizabeth was at her coronation. We also added to our collection of Xmas photos with Santa at Whiteleys. Phew! Another busy day in London.
