Day 14 London

 Day of arrival for Anne and Alex.  

Before Anne and Alex arrival, Chantal Raymond and me went for a tour at the Royal Albert Hall.  We reserved the tour a long time ago.  It was emotional for me to go back there.  It remaind me the concert I went to in Marsh 2022.  

 

Queen Victoria opened the Royal Albert Hall in 1871 as a tribute to her late and beloved husband, Prince Albert.  It was to fulfil his dream of promoting understanding and appreciation of the Arts and Sciences in the heart of South Kensington.The tour showed us the auditorium and the stalls.  We saw the royal stall and the room where the monarchie get reunited before the concert.  

A crew was on hand to set up the stage for the Arcade Fire concert.

Many celebrities have performed at the Royal Albert Hall, including Pavarotti, the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Billy Holliday, Lisa Minelli, and many others, including the Beatles.


After lunch, I went home to greet Anne and Alex. Chantal and Raymond went to the Science and Natural History Museum. They also visited Harrods.


After Anne and Alex moved in, I went to visit the Chelsea Gardener. As soon as I arrived in London, I walked past it and wondered what the inside looked like. This time, I went inside. I had no idea it was so big. From the outside, it looked rather small.

 


Tonight, we went to the pub all the group..  A very nice evening with my firends.
