An Ancient and Modern Royal Wedding

I wasn’t going to get caught up in Royal Wedding fever but as I stopped on in Chesham to help Richard and Mavis after her stroke, I found myself being swept along with it…and thoroughly enjoying the experience.  No one does pageantry as well as the British.   I thought the whole event was a wonderfully understated but appropriately regal event, the juxtaposition of ancient horse drawn carriages carrying senior royals along side a fleet of modern mini-buses for lesser dignitaries merely serving as a reminder of the quaint eccentricities we Brits cherish and are rightly noted for across the world
