Today we gave our time and our services for those who did their service and duty when we needed them. The profession did itself proud once again, quietly going about its business of providing transport to our veterans.
Veterans have taken to X to express appreciation, as one wrote: Thank you. I didn't use a cab today but you are a godsend to those less fit and mobile than me.
Alongside poppy cabs, London black cabs have become an iconic part of London, partly for grand gestures, including lining up near Buckingham Palace in rows as many as four wide in honour of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip.
One driver in 2022, Robert Caulder said, I turned my light off and just made a beeline there, just to pay respects [for the Queen], while fellow cab driver Michael Ackerman said, We now know the Queen's passed, the only woman we've ever known, our constant in both our lives and we're showing our respect.
