Remembrance day is similar to Memorial Day or Veterans Day in the U.S. Red poppies have been sold the last few weeks to raise awareness and funds for veterans groups. If you look closely, you might be able to recognize the dapper looking gentleman standing on your right on the raised platform. That turned out to be the Duke of Edinburgh, the husband of the Queen. I didn't see her and don't believe she attended.
There were a lot of different groups marching for Remembrance Day.
St. James Park is near the Horse Gardens where the Remembrance Day celebration took place.
On Saturday, this is from the Lord Mayor's Procession. His carriage is pictured below.
Lots and lots of horses for both celebrations ......
..... and the resulting "negative externality" as we say in economics. Oh well, it's organic! :)
