It didn’t look like there was an actual driver holding the reins on those two horses pulling her carrige. Kinda dangerous ain’t it?

The Brits have some beautiful traditions and ceremonies. I would love to see a photograph of only the Queen and Princess Charlotte. The little girl’s face resembles the Queen’s quite a bit.

Yeah. I guess they’re counting on the two out riders if it goes out of control.

That was spectacular, including the valiant 91-year-old Queen and 96-year-old Prince Phillip standing for long periods during the event. Just wonderful. Around minute 52 and 53 the technical military roles and the valor of the Irish Guards are described by the announcers.

From all the horse “crap” along the parade route the queen rode through, I’d say she’s being properly prepared for the mooseslime hoards soon to conquer her subjects.

Indeed, it was extremely impressive.
