regular commenter (welcome back to comments!) rascle created this accidentally, then re-created it deliberately for you dear readers! thanks rascle
royalty
royal memorabilia shop
a sign the empire lives on (at least in some peoples’ minds)
the new zealand press
isn’t the correction above the best thing ever ?
and you’ve got to admire this chief executive’s honesty
and this is how kiwis view britain – a national of lardy wobblers
burger king in disguise
something strange happened to Burger King in Australia and they are called Hungry Jacks. there’s probably a reason for that. perhaps related to the Australian’s growing republican sentiment ?
it’s the queen’s mum
i’d not seen this memorial to the queen mum before. it’s jolly good.
faded glory
ah. queen elizabeth. still ruling over a rather faded empire
someone important (probably)
i was on the way to a meeting with a lord (which was cancelled because he was summoned to the house of lords at the last minute.
on the way i spotted this cavalcade coming, so i got out my big camera and grabbed some shots
and then i enlarged the people …
they came out of buckingham palace. i suspect the actual member of the royal family is in the car (at the top)
they certainly had nice hats, which is important for a carriage rider
and a nice purple wrap
all jolly english fun
although not everyone seemed to be enjoying it
so there we go. exciting stuff
king’s bench street
well throne the crows
charles and diana
actual colours due to the table mat and my beer level
dear diana
her memory lives on in these dreadfully designed plates with their strange colouring.
(nice touch to have borat to the right)
i’ve just realised i’m the same age as she was when she died. we’ve lived very different lives (so far) though.
in the same shop they had this sign saying ‘up to half price sale’. i wasn’t sure if that was 0-50% off the price or of the price.
the queen’s garden
spot anything suspicious in this photo taken on the public side of the queen’s garden ?
royalty – your help needed !
remember elton my old hairdresser (from when i had old hair) from Betty Tigers in Sheffield? well, anyway, he’s a major creative influence and i probably wouldn’t have bothered doing funkypancake if it wasn’t for his approach to just doing stuff even though it makes no sense !
anyway … he needs help for a project he’s working on. he writes:
I am attempting to write a film script at the moment,and in one bit a girl artist produces a portrait of the queen out of stamps,(the stamps are placed,probably by a computer program into the correct order to make a portrait of H.M. from a more distant view!)
Do you know anyone who would be interested in doing this and subsequently being up for receiving a knighthood or something. Love to all Elton
drop him an email via betty tigers if you are interested !
(by the way, i was really happy with how this twenty pound note came out!)
windsor castle seen from a plane
click the pictures for a better look. what a great view from the plane (i usually end up sitting on the wrong side so miss this as you come in to heathrow)
