Up early (5:00 a.m.) and out on the Mall by 6. By pure coincidence, I stood next to the same three people as last year — down by Horse Guards.
The weather was fabulous — the sun was perhaps a bit too bright at times — still better than rain!
In February, I toured the East Wing of Buckingham Palace. The last room we toured led to the balcony, and we were able to peek out the windows … and wave. Standing below the balcony, waiting for the Royal Family to come out, gave me a new perspective.

| I think the Princess of Wales is pointing to the Duke of York statue |

| On the right, The Duke of Kent, perhaps texting a grandchild |
After making my way through the crowd to Green Park, I headed to Kensington Palace to see the The Last Princesses of Punjab exhibit.
