At the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations today, the Queen made her way from The Houses of Parliament to Buckingham Palace in an open carriage. Perched in Whitehall, amongst the great unwashed, the order for the 10th Horse Company to give The Royal Salute was barked out and, duly, the Household Cavalry roved in to view. Soon enough, Her Majesty Queen Lizzie II roved into view right behind them.
