Weatherday: The longest queue

The last two phone boxes in Kilcullen, prior to their removal (2009).

A mostly dry day with bright spells of winter sunshine.

Temperature up to 9deg in light breezes from the west. Cool tonight.

On this day in 1924, the embalmed body of the 'Father of the October Revolution', Vladimir Lenin, was placed in a mausoleum in Red Square, Moscow. Around 2.5 million people queue to visit it every year.
