Oh Shoeburyness, Shoeburyness – the greatest gift that I possess

Shoeburyness 2
Today’s photo: Another long exposure shot taken near Southend, UK, at Shoeburyness. Ah… Ken Dodd.  The problem with being born in my era is that I cannot get the songs of Ken Dodd, or indeed Keynsham Bristol, that’s K.E.Y.N.S.H.A.M, out of my head.  The latter was burned into my prefrontals while listening to Luxembourg on an actual crystal radio, buried under the covers.

I apologize to my overseas and younger readers for whom this is all nonsense.

ByDMcA

The best part of the Pageant was at the end, when the orchestra and singers turned up, and in the pelting rain, belted out ‘Rule Britannia’ and God save the Queen’.  I got a short clip of this, and although a bit wobbly, it really captures the moment I think.
