2002. June 15. - The Queen's birthday celebration (Trooping the Colour - the Horse Guards' Parade to Buckingham Palace), the British Museum

A lonely guard.	David crossing The Mall.	Guards galore.	More guards.	Horse Guards.	Horse Guards from behind.	The elegantly dressed onlookers.
Sea of yellow.	They look like Hungarian hussars, but they aren't.	The Queen (the one in the green dress).	Leisurely horseride.	More horseriding.	What you can't see is the dust-cloud behind them.	The guards.
Lots of red guards.	The Horse Guards.	A closeup of the Horse Guards.	Another closeup of the Horse Guards.	One of them is looking at - me!	Another closeup of the Horse Guards.	The Queen approaching.
The Queen.	The Guy Behind the Queen.	The Guards Behind the Queen.	All together now!	The Queen in her carriage.	The guards on their feet.	...so I sneaked up behind him and...
Marching along.	Marching down the street.	The regiment.	Those look like real guns...	The British police lining up (somewhat less spectacularly than the guards).	The uncleaned corner of the Rosetta Stone.	The Rosetta Stone.
An Egyptian artefact.	An American artefact.	Parts of the Parthenon.	Parts of the Parthenon.	David and the parts of the Parthenon.	LaLa and a statue of Pericles.	The library inside the British Museum.
David studying Shiva.	Terracotta statuettes.	Fat and happy! (Sculpture of a revered monk.)	Roman vase (the "Portland vase") - broken to thousand pieces by a drunken Brit in the 19th century, later painstakingly glued together at the British Museum.	An exhibition hall inside the British Museum.	Clocks from Baron Rotschild's collection.	An interesting clock mechanism with a moving ball (white streak on picture).
A cheap vase. (Just kidding!)	Beautiful vases.	David at the entrance of the British Museum.
