Sydney Town, A Duchess and A Duke...

It was a usual glorious, sunny and warm day in Sydney. I was downtown dropping my son at The USA Consulate so decided to wander and take some snaps given I had two hours to kill. Just happened to be the very afternoon The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were to arrive so I headed toward the Quay where they were to be received at a reception by our Premier, Barry O Farrell except that in a massive scandal, had decided to resign this very day. Busy news day!

There was plenty of security though in true Aussie style, they all seemed pretty relaxed.

This guy seemed pretty serious but I'm guessing he was MI5 or private security.

Scouring the crowd for weapons

Young and old were lined up along the barriers. Some had been there for 7 hours waiting for a glimpse of The Royals. I spoke to some super excited 5 and 6 year olds who were waving the English flag waiting to see their first "real" princess. There was a giddy 60 year old man who had also recently been in the crowd for Katy Perry scoring an autograph to boot!

Here they come...

 and there they go!

SYDNEY TOWN
On the way back to The Consulate, I took a few more snaps. It's not often I get a chance to get out and about!
