Photos of the Bomber Command Memorial in Green Park taken on the weekend leading up to the State Funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II.
This wonderful memorial was adorned, indeed was knee-deep, in flowers and tributes to Queen Elizabeth. There were large crowds and yet it was very quiet partly because many of the surroundng roads were closed or highly restricted to traffic.
