My Pearly King

The Pearly Kings and Queens in England are part of a charitable organization.  They have a jillion little pearly buttons sewn on to their clothes.  We spotted one the other weekend in London so Bill raced ahead for me to get a shot of him with this Pearly Prince.  I fear that it's only a matter of time before I'm asked to start sewing.
The Guardian has a slide show of the crowning of Pearly Kings and Queens in Bethnal Green last May: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/gallery/2012/may/06/crowning-pearly-king-queen-pictures#/?picture=389739487&index=2
It actually does look quite fun - maybe Bill and I can go pearly in 2013?
