2 generations of Redlats - United Kingdom

Its been a while since I have visited the UK. I lived there in 1952 and 1953, and we visited in 1982. By coincidence, we took a picture of our kid in Trafalgar Square in 1982. I later found out that my parents took a picture of me in 1952 at the same statue.

Hyde Park

As a kid, we lived near Hyde Park

I know it doesn't belong here

Milan's Duomo

I found this picture in one of my parent's albums - dated September 1952. The couple on the right is my parents. Thanks to pmarshuk and sabsi for identifying the Duomo in Milan. Since I haven't been there personally, I'll just leave this picture here.

Last visit to United Kingdom: Aug 1982
