What a paw-fect day! 🐾 The Greenwich Dog Show at Old Royal Naval College was bigger, better, and more tail-waggingly fun than ever! From adorable pups and glorious golden oldies to impressive tricks and the waggiest tails, the day was packed with canine charm, friendly competition, and plenty of happy memories. A huge shout-out to all the dogs and humans who joined in today and made it such a barking success! 🐶❤️🏆✨ #LondonMakesItPossible #VisitLondon

🍸 Hidden in the heart of @stjameslondon, DUKES London is one of London’s most iconic cocktail spots. Famous for its world-class martinis and timeless style, it’s long been linked with Ian Fleming and the world of James Bond - and often said to be the inspiration behind the legendary “shaken, not stirred.” Expect martinis served with theatre and precision: frozen glasses, ultra-chilled spirits, and no ice - just pure, classic perfection. And even while DUKES Hotel undergoes refurbishment, the bar remains open for its signature martini experience all summer 2026. Would you have one here? 🍸 📍DUKES Bar #LondonMakesItPossible #VisitLondon

A breathtaking Royal Air Force flypast provides a spectacular finale to this year’s Trooping the Colour celebrations🇬🇧👑 Trooping the Colour marks The King’s official birthday with a magnificent display of military tradition and pageantry. Hundreds of officers, horses and musicians from the Household Division take part in the ceremony, dressed in full ceremonial uniform. The parade travels from Buckingham Palace along The Mall to Horse Guards Parade, where The King inspects the troops before leading the guards back to the palace. Upon arrival, The King takes the salute as gun salutes are fired in Green Park and at the Tower of London. The celebrations conclude with members of the Royal Family appearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony to watch the impressive flypast overhead. 🎥 The Royal Family #LondonMakesItPossible #VisitLondon #TroopingTheColour #TheRoyalFamily
