Bad weather was clearly forecast - the choir should have been provided with
cover of some sort.
I felt really sorry for them.

They had cover (umbrellas) earlier on when they went past us before
Lambeth Bridge - evidently they decided to go all out for the grand
finale and let the weather go hang :-) I noticed that the one with
glasses was the only one to have her hood up, presumably because she
would have been absolutely blind otherwise!


I suspect the image of the soaking choir singing their hearts out will
be the abiding memory of the Jubilee procession, a la Dunkirk spirit....
