Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to London...

Daisy wanted to take Daddy to London to see the Queen for his birthday, unfortunately the Queen wasnt in so we acted like tourists for most of the day by having our photo taken with guards and at various tourist spots!

Sam and Daddy checking out the passing trains on the train from Brighton to Victoria


First stop was Buckingham Palace. We walked from Victoria and Daisy was very excited to see where the Queen, prince's and princess's live.


From Buckingham Place we walked up The Mall which has been closed to traffic this month


Stopping to have a photo with a guard


Then a quick bite to eat in St James Park before...

marching round Horseguard's Parade


Stopping off to make a call (not many red telephone boxes left now - don't you know)


Oh no, Nelson's colume is growing out of Daisy's head


Checking out the live Olympic's coverage in Trafalgar Square


Enjoying the entertainment on the South Bank (and still walking, we walked everywhere today and Daisy did a fantastic job keeping up)


Getting ready to board the 'Duck Tour', which is a tour round the sights of London by road before the duck.....


Plunges into the water for a cruise along the Thames. At this point it all got too much for Sammy boy and he fell asleep whilst....


Daisy had a great time but Daddy was a little scared that a sixty year old Duck would still be able to do both; go on the road and on water!


We survived the Duck tour and Daisy danced her way back over the Queen Jubile Bridge in the pouring rain! We then walked through Leicester square and arrived soaked from the tip of our nose to the tip of our toes at the Rainforest Cafe for suppa.

Sammy boy enjoying a tipple at the bar with Daddy

Who is that?

Daddy with his birthday dessert and a solo from Daisy singing Happy Birthday


Daisy checking out the supplies in the window's of Fortnam and Masons


Ohhhh still in love! Great pic taken by Daisy


Walking from Piccadilly Circus, through Green Park, past Buckingham Palace and back to Victoria all in the pouring rain!!


What a beautiful way to end a fantastic day. Daisy couldn't believe that Grandad David could paint such a big rainbow.
