I love English baroque - it has a pared-down austerity that makes it more elegant than exuberant (here, the style's florid & confusing to the eye - or it is to mine!). Beautiful, & well done getting such good pix in what must have been difficult light/conditions.

How disappointing for you to be visiting London when the palaces were closed. I should imagine it was quite something to see the funeral like that though. Yes Ginnie The Kensington.
