B151:Back to the sunshine

It is nice to see the sun again after my few rainy days in UK. Probably the weather will buck up there now I am back in Moscow. Here are two photos I took yesterday on my way back to Moscow. The first is of the new concourse at King's Cross station, taken at 5 o'clock in the morning. The second is of a picture of a guardsman in the Foot Guards saying goodbye to people as they leave Heathrow. Did you know that there are 5 Regiments of Foot Guards in the British Army and you can tell which Regiment a soldier belongs to by looking at how the buttons on his tunic are grouped? In order of seniority on parade they are as follows: Grenadier guards (White plumes and evenly-spaced tunic buttons), Coldstream guards (red plumes and paired tunic buttons), Scots guards (no plumes and tunic buttons in threes), Irish guards (blue plumes and tunic buttons in fours) and Welsh guards (white-and-green plumes and tunic buttons in fives).
