Three Special Tactics Team members taking a breather, from filming. They were kind enough to agree to a picture, and one of them quipped when I remarked that they looked incredibly lean and mean,
nah, don't worry, we're really grinning from ear to ear, it's just that you can't see it.
St Paul's Cathedral, arguably Sir Christopher Wren's greatest piece of art, and arguably England's finest Cathedral.
