Tim Minchin and London all dressed up

I am sure that with the world news events of this week the Royal Wedding seems a very long time ago, however, I thought I would share these rather jolly pictures of London I took the night before!

I have to say, the atmosphere, even the evening before the big event was amazing. There was a lively buzz in the air and I enjoyed walking around and listening to varied global accents and languages being spoken. After a picnic on a bench in St James’ Park, it was time to jump into a taxi to the main event of the evening which was watching Tim Minchin at The Royal Albert Hall.

Tim’s combination of stand-up comedy interspersed with funny songs goes surprisingly well with the 55 piece orchestra accompanying him on his piano! I spent most of the time laughing my head off, but there are also some tender moments like when he sings about his young daughter. The crowd were 4,000 strong and there was an electric atmosphere in the Albert Hall that night. All in all, a fantastic live show.
