Taken today in Bradford, England, just after a street party celebrating the Queens diamond jubilee. Bradford is a gritty northern city, quite a contrast from London. I noticed these street sweepers watching the live proceedings in London and thought it made an interesting snap.

I really like what you've captured here, worlds apart indeed. I would have liked it even more if the queen weren't hidden from our view, but this photograph does bring your point across beautifully.

Well spotted Hannah, I thought exactly the same. Then wondered if I could make do with Prince Philip!

I really like this photo. It would have been amazing if the street cleaners were in the same pose (unintentionally) as the royal family, but that's the issue with candid street photography! Good Job

The subject of your photo is very striking especially these days and reminds once again the ignored fact; "some people sit over the shoulders of others". I wish a world where every one is sitting side by side. Thanks for sharing.
