    WOWZA! Spectacular! I am American and so excited to get up at 4:30 am to watch on Saturday! I’ve been to London many times and The British ONCE AGAIN put on the worlds BEST Parade in the world! The marching bands were spectacular! Horses were beautiful and shiny. To every person behind the scenes, riders, military, police ect. Even in the dark it is obvious you have spent hours and hours getting every last piece of equipment sparkling and shiny for the big day. Very proud to be a quarter British! Way to go! 🎉 From North Carolina, USA 🇺🇸
