As the Royals pass by there's a 50/50 chance that you'll just get the back of their heads whilst they wave to the people on the other side. To get a face is a win, to then get 'eye contact' too is something that makes the three hour wait against the fence seem much more worth it.

I should have said 3 hours before kick-off, so a similar arrival time. I hope you managed to keep your kit dry during those hammering downpours.

Paulette

Thank you, Paulette.

And all others too! I would be happy to continue individual thanks but this may look a bit ugly perhaps...

Introducing Townsville in Far North Queensland, Australia

 

Edo, seagulls lover, would you approve of the seagull spray bottle at the restaurant? 

Apparently, the week before, 20 seagulls ganged together and attacked a table.

Like the Islas Malvinas?

 

I guess I didn't make myself clear. I wouldn't say that images taken in any British Overseas territories were taken in Britain. Just as an image taken in Madeira is not taken in Portugal, although Madeira belongs to Portugal (i.e. taken in Madeira, which is Portugese, not Portugal). But let's not get political.
