The top of the world

Oct. 27

 

Today I went to the center of the world. Well the center in terms of longitude. A part of the Prime Meridian is in Greenwich, London.

The line that indicated the middle of the world.

 

At night there is a green laser in the sky that shows where the line is. The Prime Meridian is where the time is at 0. Every other time zone is compared to the Prime Meridian.

 

 

 

Normally when crossing back and forth, if your phone was set to automatically change, the time would keep changing. But because we are currently in Daylight Saving Time, the time is the same.

 

The line is at the top of the hill, which gives great views of the city.

 

 


 After I went over the Emirates air line. Emirates is an airline, and they have built an air line across the Thames Rives.

The car we rode in

 It allowed for amazing views of the east end of the city.
 

 

 

 

In the evening I went to a concert. The concert was a collaboration between the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and the National Arts Centre Orchestra of Ottawa. They started the concert by playing O'Canada, which was really amazing. One of the pieces was the UK premiere of A Ballad of Canada, which is a song commemorating Canada's role in World War I. It was a number of Canadian war poems, put to music, most notably In Flanders Field by John Mccrae, who was born and raised in Guelph, Ontario. The National Arts Centre Orchestra of Ottawa's tour of the UK is sponsored by The Prince's Trust. The Prince's Trust is a charity that was founded, and continues to be largely influenced by HRH the Prince of Wales. Because of the impact this concert has on his charity, Charles attended the event.

 

Sorry about it being blurry, but Prince Charles is 4th from the left

  It was awesome to be at the same event as the heir to the throne.
