Outside Buckingham Palace, they stood with cameras at the ready, as if waiting for the Queen to wave to them from the windows. They toured the Tower, St. Paul's and Westminster Abbey ("Is this really the coronation throne? Kinda beat up, isn't it?"), carefully watched out for cars on the "wrong side" of the street, crowded into Dirty Dick's Fleet Street pub and the Prospect of Whitby on the Thames.
