There's lots of presence and preparation in Windsor, Berkshire at the moment ahead of Saturday's royal wedding. The town will be impenetrable, a no-go zone, on the day and, in any case, I'll be watching the cup final. So I've been wandering about taking photos of the streets over the past few days. People, both locals and visitors, are ambling, shopping, eating and drinking. Normal stuff but with the addition of numerous police, media crews, vehicles, cordons and barriers. A lively mix of coming and going, and a growing sense of readiness. The American TV presenters stand out a country mile. Over buffed and 'over here', to adapt a wartime phrase. The police do a fine line in friendly chat while being heavily armed. If you like men and women in uniform, come on down. I did wonder whether I should be taking 'shots' of them, crouching down with a small black device in fading light. But it all seems good humoured enough. Well, it is a wedding. Let's hope there's a nice 'spread' for the armies of people involved in the event. It's not my usual stuff but I thought I'd share a few photos on here. I'll update the post if I get in amongst it again. Come on Man U.
A few more shots taken on Friday. A Windsor 'ramblas' down the Long Walk, around the castle and town, the day before the big event. Lots of people, coIour and life. I opted to watch the wedding on the tele. 'Didn't they do well!' But alas not Man U.
