Figure 1-- Here we see a group enjoying Traflgar Square (August 13, 1959). They are identified as Vickie, John, anf Brian [writing indistinct]. The older boy is wearing his school uniform which would mean locals. One of the boys is unidentied and thus not part of the group. We think he is the boy looking into the fountain earing a what looks like a very un-British smock. That and what looks like a camera strap. We suspect he is part of a French tourist family.

Trafalgar Square is one of the most popular London tourist atteaction. It is located in the heart of London and is a major tourist attraction because of its rich history. Many wiould say a visit to London is incomplete without exploring Trafalgar Square. And it can be combined with with a tour of the National Galary. We see Trafalgar Square being used by both Londners and tourists. Londoners like stopping by to enoy the square. We see quite a few childtren being brought to the square after school to enjoy the warer features and especially to feed the pigeons. They are easy to spot because they are often wearing their school uniforms. An English reader writes, "The school boy on the previous page is feeding a pigeon, but that is not where you would buy the pigeon food or choose to feed them. Most of them hang around the stall holders selling bird food. The Square is full of pigeons. They land on your out stretched arm or head and then get spooked and the whole lot takes to the air. Some children find it good fun but some little ones get distressed when one lands on their head. The authorities don't approve of feeding the pigeons but what can they do? Do not think its a nice place to have a family picnic. The pigeons take all your food." We also see tourists, both British and foreign tourists enjoying Trafalgur Square. Some merely ride by in a red open-top tourist bus. But many want to actually enjoy the square. Kids can get turned off from tourism. Statues, monuments, art galaries, and museums often do not apeal, especially for the younger chuildren. So a stop at Trafalgur Square can be an appealing respite for the kids. Both the fountains and feeing the pigeions have an intrinsic appeal.
