Following on from the last post, breakfast eventually happened, once most of the crowd had cleared; All that was left seemed to be a French-speaking group of probably high-school aged girls & some slightly shell-shocked staff. The meal itself was…

Yep, That’s A Big Blue Rooster
As seen in Trafalgar Square. I asked one of the London Ambassador people about it, and she wasn’t a fan; A big bronze pigeon would have been more appropriate in her view.
