                      Westminster and St. Paul’s         5th June 2018  Today we didn’t know what a surprise was in store for us as we traveled to our capital city London Our journey starts by climbing aboard a Grand Central Train heading for Kings Cross Station. We will eventually be a party of Eight. John will join the train first at Bradford, Eddie Colin Derek Keith Malcolm and Dave will join at Wakefield. Jeff is reaching Kings Cross by a different train. Our train was to leave Wakefield Kirkgate at 7:42 , arriving in London at a few minutes past 10 o’clock . This didn’t happen, signalling problems near Grantham caused a 25 minutes delay. On arrival at Kings Cross our first objective was to consume a delicious sausage and egg sandwich at the Leon cafe here at the station. From here we now took the underground railway to Westminster. A short walk now to reach the doors of the Abbey and gain entrance to this magnificent building, once inside the splendour became apparent.
