Royal Celebration--cont'd

Continuing on the call on Royal Greetings.

After escaping the sardine packed dining area, all visitors were required to form a queue to enter the FIRST waiting area.

In those numbered rows, we were ushered to fill in empty seats and move along when the row in front was vacated. I was stranded here for more than an hour.......

These were the people behind me! More were in the queue waiting for rows to be vacated! People actually bring their WHOLE family here, young and old even the just-borns! I think this is one MOST complete family gatherings ever. Not our family though...

Where do those front rows vacated to.......?

Surprise! Another waiting room. This time air-conditioned. Big King actually dozed off while basking in those gold lights and goldie bling bling decor, ha, that was how eager he was to meet the BIG MAN.

We formed yet another queue after leaving the grand room previously. I stand waited for about 45 minutes before I was granted an audience with the Big Man's family. First wife, new second wife, pretty daughter-in-law, two daughters , royal sis-in-law, all beautifully dressed and made-up. I quickly shook their jewelled laden hands and hurried along.

People leaving with their goody box, how I wish I was done and finished when I photo them while cursing in me head.......

Goody box station, how I was relieved when I saunter across the mini bridge to reach them in me aching aching feet, it's like sunlight has finally descended after 3 months straight of grey and rainy sky in Manchester.

Ah, the goody box. Highlight of the whole visit for some...........

Mission accomplished. Yahooooo!!!!
