A right royal occasion!


Today was a special day. I took the boys to see the Queen and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge who were visiting our home city of Nottingham.
I love the Royals and taking the boys to see the Queen was not to be missed! 


We jumped on the bus, flags in hand and headed for the Market Square, along with about thirty thousand other people! It was a great atmosphere, with a military band playing outside of the Council House. 


It was hard work on my own with Samuel on my hip and Freddie in his buggy but I managed to get a few pictures. We couldn't see the Queen as she walked through the square towards the council house but did see William and Kate as they walked up the steps. We then saw the Queen waving from the balcony as the band played the National Anthem. It was fab! 


Samuel was already getting into the spirit of things at the bus stop!






It was wonderful to see how many people had turned up!


The band setting the atmosphere of the occasion. 








The three of us squeezed in as close as we could get. 




The big screen showing the Queen arriving on the Market Square.
There was a loud cheer when handsome Prince William started greeting the crowd.
Not a great photo but they're there! 



Samuel enjoying a well deserved Happy Meal after the event.

A slightly unpatriotic Freddie chewing on a Union Jack! Cheeky Boy!

First time the little guy has been out of his buggy on a bus.



These royal events take their toll!
