I was in London in December of the year following that video . It was a visit from college to view something at the British Museum . I’ve forgotten what . 🤔

I do recall walking down Downing Street , past No 10 , and then going around the back of No 10 .

It was a weekend , so a friend and myself visited Parliament . We were able to wander around the Commons , sit on the benches and have a look at the Speaker’s chair and behind it .

How things have changed.
 
I’ve always been a huge Audrey Hepburn fan. Near the end of her life she did significant humanitarian work in Africa. Enjoy!..
