This was the view from my hotel window in mid week. Cold
and wet weather had returned to Southern Britain after an unusually warm
spell. |
 |
From the window of the Windsor Business centre, the
changing of the Windsor Castle guard. |
|
Virtually every hotel in the centre of town
was being commandeered by TV crews from all over the world. |
 |
Broadcasters even had remotely controlled
cameras (wrapped up to keep them dry) on posts carrying.... cameras. |
 |
 |
Security was pretty intense and highly visible.... |
 |
...in all shapes and sizes. If it moved, then a TV camera
was pointed at it. |
|
Queen Victoria was not at all sure what to
make of this chap walking round all day with a plastic sheep on his
shoulder. Neither was I. |
 |
The market cross house is one of Windsor's
attractions in that it's not exactly straight and upstanding. Queen Victoria
would definitely not approve. |
 |
 |
The Guild Hall, built by Christopher Wren is on the left,
overlooked by Hampton's Estate Agents which was the site of one of our
temporary studios. |
 |
My colleague, Ian Dow had some lamps rigged under the
canopy to illuminate HRH and his new bride when they emerged from inside the
guild hall. |
|
Looking on to the Guild Hall from the west. |
 |
The shop windows, needless to say, were full
of merchandise... |
 |
 |
...of all shapes and sizes... |
 |
|
|
Later in the week, a flag to dwarf all flags
will appear on the round tower to the lower right of this picture. |
 |
Time for a walk around the centre. This used
to be the royal station, now converted into tourist shops and restaurants. |
 |
 |
This was even a replica of Her Majesties 'puffer'. |
 |
Another flagpole, another flag. St George, this time. |
|
If it sits still for long enough, interview
it. |
 |
This interviewee has a track record of
breaking into Palaces and kissing Princes.
True. |
