June

Chelsea Hospital in the rain

It rained on 3 June, throughout the Founders' Day parade at Chelsea Hospital. The pensioners had to stick it out. About two thirds of the spectators left - they were very very wet.

It continued to rain during the afternoon at the Buckingham Palace Garden Party. No photographs were allowed but you can imagine - soggy morning suits and droopy dresses.

It rained during the annual Livery weekend at Ironbridge. 

It rained on 28 June when the Queen (she looked stunning) reviewed reserve cadets at Chelsea. Most other spectators were very very wet and, of course, had to stick it (or rather umbrella it) out.
