London, England – 2016 – iPhone

After a bit of a walk we arrived at Harrods, a very upscale department store with everything you can imagine! That’s it in the photo, straight ahead and on the right!

I LOVE this photo because it has a DOUBLE DECKER BUS; HARRODS DEPARTMENT STORE; A BIKE; A BRITISH FLAG & A RED TELEPHONE BOX in it, can you find them??

We had a wonderful time with Joseph and Rosie’s family at the Royal Albert Hall in London, where we listened to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra play movie themes; ‘FILM MUSIC GALA’. They played 26 songs, here’s some of them; Mission Impossible, ET, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Chariots of Fire, Frozen, Star Wars & Rocky. It was awesome! Something Joseph and Rosie didn’t know is that I have always had a desire to go inside the Royal Albert Hall. It was completed in 1871 and was named after Prince Albert who died in 1861, he was the husband of Queen Victoria. Thirty seven years after the death of Prince Albert, (1898) my grandfather, Albert Edward Ottley was born in London, England, and from what I remember, my grandfather was named after Prince Albert. So, this was a special moment for me!

As we walked thru the streets of London, we saw many red telephone booths. I don’t know if they still work or not, but with the use of cell phones, phone booths seem to be disappearing. However, the British Red Telephone Box stands as an icon to Britain and it’s history!
