On the underground on Monday we sat opposite a lady wearing technicolour stilettos. I think they were made of canvas with random blotches of primary colours - glorious!
At LHR we spotted some red blazers. Trying to see who they were, I got too close and discover they were a rugby team from Tonga here for a world cup in Wales. I told one that I had seen the Queen of Tonga when she came to Britain for the coronation in 1953. She did a tour of Britain and drove past our house. She was probably the first black person I'd ever seen, living in the depths of Scotland as I did.

Well there you go, I didnt even realise Tongo had a queen.
