Hi Gary
Thanks for the very interesting and topical summary of events. Remind me not to travel with you though;

your proximity and close misses to some of these iconic events remind me somewhat of Forest Gump’s encounters with other famous events that helped shape history.
Interesting to see how communications have changed…”
when I received a letter from a friend in Sydney”. These days it would have been an e-mail, Twitter, Face book or Skype event!
Nice photo with the London Bobbies!
Cheers
Dennis
