Cut Down

On the way to a visit to the Royal Thames Yacht Club in Knightsbridge. An intriguing guided tour around the building to see the marine paintings. A very impressive collection.

A yummy lunch in the restaurant overlooking Hyde Park. Then on to the V&A for the Revolution exhibition. Several other Blippers have been to this and enjoyed it. I agree - its really entertaining. Very well curated and structured with a terrific choice of music. Charlie17 would approve.

But in the morning, before doing all this I passed this shrine to the young Italian prince, Filippo Corsini aged 21 , who was killed a couple of weeks ago on his bike. He was dragged under an HGV just outside Knightsbridge tube station. What a tragedy. Cut down before he had lived his life.
