Closest thing that I have to photographic evidence that I was within an arm's reach of Michelle Obama - a photo of the building in which I saw her: Westminster Abbey.
This is the entrance to Westminster Abbey, across the street from the Houses of Parliament in Parliament Square. It is being renovated.
You can see the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey.
Another shot of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, taken off the corner of Westminster Abbey in Parliament Square.
The statue is on one side of the Houses of Parliament, facing Westminster Abbey.
You can see all of the work that's being done to give this attractive, albeit timeworn, structure a facelift.
Taken from our tour bus, so it's not great quality, but it shows you the size and majesty of Westminster Abbey.
BENEATH THIS STONE RESTS THE BODY OF A BRITISH WARRIOR, UNKNOWN BY NAME OR RANK, BROUGHT FROM FRANCE TO LIE AMONG THE MOST ILLUSTRIOUS OF THE LAND AND BURIED HERE ON ARMISTICE DAY, 11 NOV: 1920, IN THE PRESENCE OF HIS MAJESTY KING GEORGE V, HIS MINISTERS OF STATE, THE CHIEFS OF HIS FORCES, AND A VAST CONCOURSE OF THE NATION. THUS ARE COMMEMORATED THE MANY MULTITUDES WHO, DURING THE GREAT WAR OF 1914 - 1918, GAVE THE MOST THAT MAN CAN GIVE - LIFE ITSELF. FOR GOD, FOR KING AND COUNTRY, FOR LOVED ONES HOME AND EMPIRE, FOR THE SACRED CAUSE OF JUSTICE AND THE FREEDOM OF THE WORLD. THEY BURIED HIM AMONG THE KINGS BECAUSE HE HAD DONE GOOD TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD HIS HOUSE.
