The Royal Family were on walk-about.
I did not expect to see any of them -
what with such vast crowds, and being only 5ft tall!

The atmosphere was wonderful.
People in the front rows excitedly gave those further back a run-down of what was taking place.
We heard that the Queen was heading in our direction,
along with Prince’s William and Harry.

There Was Her Majesty!

The crowds seemed to divide, like the parting of the red sea.
Her smile so radiant.

I returned the smile
while going into complete shock.

Now, I had seen both mother and daughter close-up.
Previously, Princess Anne, now The Queen.

What a wonderful day!

A day to remember, where sadness and joy complemented
each other,
at this, the opening of the Princess Diana Memorial, in Hyde Park, London.
