This week saw the historic State Visit of Michael D Higgins, the President of the Irish Republic to Windsor as the guest of HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. I was fortunate enough to be in the be crowd that saw all the pomp and ceremony associated with such a visit.
Everything was pulled out for this visit as it was the first time ever that the Head of State of our nearest neighbour had ever visited the UK, this followed the visit of HM The Queen to the Irish Republic in 2011. Both visits are the final stage of the peace process between both countries.

I took many other photos of the event, too many to post on my blog, but it may post some of the others later.
