The Queen makes a procession to Parliament after elections to reopen the new session of Parliament.
My friend Jeff told me the time of the procession, so I made a point of lining the blvd, and I got to see the short parade and the carriage carrying the queen to parliament.
It is tradition that a member of Parliament is held hostage at Buckingham Palace while the Queen makes her opening speech to Parliament to assure her safety.
Having 2 inches of bulletproof glass on her carriage doesn't hurt either. . .
