Alan thought I would like these - and he was right. These are some of the earliest colour photographs taken in Britain.
I recreated the view of Parliament Square scene of Victory celebrations in 1919 yesterday. Probably more traffic today but not moving any more quickly.

Yes, I was on the traffic island. To get to the same spot would have meant an argument with a double decker bus waiting at the lights, and I don't think I would have won it.
