london1967 | "The Lost Prince", "Quartet" and the Bomber Command Memorial

We had another little outing into town today.

From Penge to Trafalgar Square

still adorned with its Christmas tree (donated as every year since WWII by the city of Oslo)

We went to the National Portrait Gallery to see

an exhibition on the prince who would have become Henry IX, hadn't he died aged 18 (his brother - the future Charles I - became the heir to the throne).
It was rather interesting and not too crowded.

Then we had a 'sarnie' in the basement cafe'

before going to the Curzon in Mayfair to see

which we loved.
(There must have been something wrong with the heating - or maybe it was dust - because when the film ended we both had watering eyes! lol)

Before heading home, we visited the new £6m Bomber Command Memorial on Constitution Hill (the north-west corner of Green Park) inaugurated by the Queen last June.
