The King's March witnessed

The weather's turned cold again here in London but on the weekend it was glorious sunshine. On Sunday I popped down to Whitehall to see the king’s army from the English Civil War Society perform their annual commemoration of the death of King Charles I in 1649. On the last Sunday in January the king’s army march from St James’ Palace to the Banqueting House where they place a wreath, say some speeches and give out medals. It’s all pretty cool.
