Fun people at the Royal Wedding

It is amazing how friendly people are at BIG functions. Neat people we may not meet in our little Northern Ontario town.

The young gal at the top, is a hostess at a Pub near Buckingham Palace. There was a huge party, celebrating the Royal Wedding, and she was a bit 'tipsy' while she was asking people to join in.

A woman, named Julia, camped out beside us at Buckingham Palace. I was beginning to think it was odd that she had a camera stuck in her face no matter what she was doing. I asked her twice if she was famous and she said no. However, she had a newspaper that had an entire article on her. She is a 'Royal Watcher' to the extreme. She has over 100,000 pictures, she has taken, of the Royals. The camera crew was from Austria and they were doing a bit of a 'reality show' all about her and her obsession with the Royals. She seemed normal to me. (I bought 10 newspapers today).

The next gal, in the fantastic dress, was twirling all over the place. Getting pictures taken with people. There were a great deal of people who came to Buckingham Palace dressed up.

The fellow being interviewed was Aaron from New York. He came over to talk with Deb and I when he saw our Canadian flags. He was really excited to be in London for the Wedding. He liked us so much, he came back the next day to see us after our all night camp out.

The last two gentlemen were the Belgium television crew who interviewed Debbie and I. They were fun. Only one small incident. They accidentally left one of their knapsacks in front of the barricade we were behind. But no one knew for sure it was theirs and we were concerned it may be suspicious! I didn't want to lose our spot, so we waited for a bit and sure enough they came back for it.

While Deb and I were taking a stroll down The Mall, to see all the other 'campers' the night before the Wedding, a couple, also strolling, initiated a conversation with us. They were interested that we had come so far to see the Wedding. We chatted with them for a few moments before they shared that the woman was Kate Middleton's cousin and the gentleman was her bodyguard! No kidding! She really looked similar to Kate and going out when it was dark, I suppose no one would recognize her. I would have loved to take her picture, but she asked us not to.

Some many people there from all over the world, and some as close as NewMarket, Ontario!
