Raiders at the Royal Albert Hall

A family outing.  Our seats were on the first row of the balcony, giving us a stunning view.  The film was ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’, with a live orchestra playing the musical score.

Slightly early, so we walked up from South Kensington tube and John said he would show me around Imperial College, where he lectures each year.

And here we are on the right - how did I do that?

And here we are to the right of the flowers – how did I do that?

The interior is so much bigger than I had imagined! A tranquil square surrounded by buildings on four sides, screening out the  general hoi polloi.  A great place for study and reflection.

And another we passed by on the way back home.

How did he do that?!

What a glorious rendezvous – the film is an outstanding classic, the orchestra was triumphant.  I  love these new, original ways of capturing our imagination and letting it run riot.
