What's Up Wednesday (Swann 15 year reign)

Today is going to be a feast for the eyes and very little writing as a spectacular event took place this week. Remember that the photos are high resolution and need to be clicked on for full appreciation.

Apart from the Heads of the Royal Houses meeting the most prestigious event thus far for 2012 was the 15th Anniversary Banquet held in Swann. The whole country was buzzing with celebration for the 2day long festivities which began on Monday. It all culminated on Tuesday evening at the Royal Palace in the capital of Swann where Royal representatives from all over Europa converged for the party. Dukes Court Palace saw preparations that took months come to their glorious climax with the fireworks display which lasted 20 minutes. The Duke of Swann, a very frugal monarch, obviously wanted to enjoy the rare opportunity and for once didn’t spare any expense to give his people and the Royal visitors a time to remember. Long Live the Duke of Swann!

General public arriving for the celebrations arranged for them in the square in front of Duke's Court Palace on Tuesday.
