Enjoyed a few pints of beer in Trafalgar Square to celebrate Canada Day with SL and my friend CD. 
I was pleasantly surprised to see that the celebrations are quite elaborate, especially considering that I'm not in Canada. The entire square was roped off and there was a hugh stage set up with that announcer guy from CBC as emce. In true Canadian style, they had a huge beer tent set up (charging almost twice the price as at the pubs!). While we waited in line, we were entertained by a young 'lad', probably no older than 14, trying to get a few pints for him and his 'mates'. 
He didn't get to far as he was carded by the server but you gotta give him points for trying! The weather was fantastic, getting up to 28 degrees. Apparently, this is as hot as it gets over here! Many people were in festive red and white and I did my bit by wearing a red tie.
