10/3/2012

To celebrate the Queens Jubilee they had an exhibition of Caribbean artisans craft work at Trellis Bay after the Full Moon Party. Richard, Duke of Gloucester came to show the flag and make a speech. But despite a lifetime of public speaking he didn’t stand close enough to the microphone. I expect people call him Dick.
