Little did I know what I was taking photos of. At the time, there were rumors on the South Bank about the new James Bond movie and it was interesting enough to shoot Union Jack decorated helicopter flying through the Tower Bridge. However, it turned out it is The Queen and James Bond on their way to the opening of London Olympic Games 2012! Well, not that the real Queen was actually flying or jumping with a parachute but it was fun nevertheless.

Henry Heath's Hat Factory building. Image of the back of the building in Soho, the front is on Oxford Street, London. The Hat Factory was founded in the reign of King George the Fourth (1820-1830). Employing up to 70 people, the establisment was known for the fine silk plush top hats which were men's high fashion and the discerning buyers allegedly include King Edward VII, King George V, The Royal Court of Spain. Henry Heath's hats could not be bought through any Co-operative stores, the sales were direct and in cash prices. Henry Heath died in 1877 and his children took over the family business. There are still adverts for the hats in 1931 but I could not find exact date of the factory closure. It seems a number of Mr Heath's hats are still is existence and in ?as new? condition. Lately the Hat Factory building was occupied by Film post production services and is currently converted into residential apartments. Image converted to B&W and toned.

A beautiful hawk is brought to Trafalgar Square to deter pigeons. There are different opinions on this practise. Web search shows some people witnessed bloody attacks but my experience was not gruesome. From observing and talking to the hawk handler, hawk's presence alone is enough to keep pigeons away. There weren't any pigeons anywhere! The hawk is also a cameraman. It can carry tiny camera around the neck and the footage has been used in films. This is one busy bird.
