We'll Never Be Royals

Although I wouldn't necessarily consider myself a royalist, a chance to see the future King and Queen of England practically right in my backyard seemed too good to pass up. As part of their Australian tour, Will and Kate stopped by Manly Beach to pay a visit to a children's hospice, view a lifesaving demonstration and accept a custom made surfboard for baby George (who wasn't there unfortunately!) It seemed everyone in Manly, myself included, was there to give them a warm welcome - and they were all smiles in return.

Some people got pretty into it...

And at last they arrive!

Crazy crowds

Gorgeous in real life!
