Hello everyone,
Now I have Broadband I can do these photo's justice at last. I have used photo software to improve the quality of these images for the first time and I hope you enjoy seeing them again:

It was a beautiful day, the Sun shone from dawn until dusk, it was as if the English Weather for once knew Shania's fans were in town to see her perform in front of over 84,000 Standing room only fans at London's famous Hyde Park:

I was there of course, but do you see anyone else here that you know who posts in the Shania Forums: ?

Aaah Now you remember the day, Shania was on top form not putting a single foot wrong the whole show:

And how did I get such wonderful pictures, did I hire a professional photographer?
Nah along with hundreds of others I spend a wonderful day from 6:30am in the Morning Q ing for the Gold Circle enclosure so we could get up close and personal with our girl as these photo's prove:

So I am proud of the fact that some of the photo's above have been seen by Shania and millions of Canadian TV viewers as they featured in the background, being on display alongside Grace Billington's Hyde Park piccys in the Shania Twain Centre at the time of Eilleen's first visit.
I can not think of a better present for all the Super Shania fans on-line here. Merry Christmas everyone, have a fanTastic time and loads of parties for two.

Awsome pics!!!
Thank you, Bjorn Again an Abba Tribute band started off the Gig and really fine tuned our vocal chords - in the CTV special on Shania's homecoming on Nov 2nd of this year Ben stopped out of camera with Shania standing by the Hyde Park display the photo's above clearly visable in the background with Tracy off to Shania's left hand side. So Grace our photo's have been seen by Eilleen during her private showing of the Centre and by millions of Canadians on the TV special.
The band and Shania really did enjoy our support that day, we all had a blast! I would imagine from the DVD footage that Chicago was a similar sort of atmosphere, a giant party in the Park so to speak. Visiting the STC today so hopefully the Timmins Christmas thread pictures will be added to. There are down today while I get a second photobucket account sorted to host them all.

wonderful pics - thank you tom :D:D
Thank you everyone, I have heaps more but no room on Photobucket to host them unless I sign up for an account. I may well have to do that. I was at the Shania Twain Center today and was told how Shania reacted when she had a one to one visit before the camera's rolled. She just loved the fan material, so all of you who have donated material on display now at the STC, a well deserved pat on the back to you from Eilleen.
Please go to the "Merry (Timmins) Christmas" thead here for more recent pictures from the Shania Twain center and a special Christmas card to YOU with Love from Tracy :)

Oh right, I know it was the day before or after my Birthday... Ooops
Amazing to see those picture back again....brings back great memories :love: :love: thanks for sharing Tom!
This concert was such an amazing experience..
What a fab day that was!!!
Thanks for the great pics and memories Tom!

Yes it was an amazing ride, I think we had a great time together before and during the concert. Afterwards I just loved the way the Centre of London for a half hour or so was just taken over by 85 thousand happy Shania fans. We were Awesome and everywhere with our T shirts, Golf Shirts, Badges, Posters, Timmins Ball caps and other Shania related items.
We did good, and I hope Shania and the Band were proud of us that day. They sure looked like they were having a good time as well.
Let's hope a few more on the Forums can make the trip of a lifetime and visit Shania's home town of Timmins, you do not have to wait until Fan Con 3, the Shania Twain Centre and of course myself will welcome you any time you want to just "come on over" and hang out with us for a bit. See Timmins in Winter thread in this picture section for latest Timmins pictures.

Didn't see that... Team work:p
Why thank you all... So nice of you. Of course if the original person (me) who starts a thread could edit that mistake out, would that not be a fine idea. Anyway the Photo's are what counts the rest is just for well some to worry about, cause most do not read text at all on Photo threads, I have noticed this. You are often lucky to get a one line reply... C'est La vie and all that.
