  Bagpipers in Belgravia
by karenincalifornia
 
 

Like I said, in London, you never know when you are going to stumble across a parade, festival, or other procession. Now, I am quite used to processions in San Francisco, but they are of a different breed in my home town. In SF, our processions are usually protests against some evil act of a government (any government - we don't discriminate). The Londoners seemed to us to be much more refined. Their processions were people on horses in their finest uniforms, or like this one, bagpipers in their kilts displaying their excellent musical and marching talents.
