Our QE2 'Virtual Webcam' of Archived Images

The QE2's BridgeCam is back! I have an ENORMOUS collection of QE2's webcam images going back years.  I used it as my homepage for a long time, and snapped all the best ones.  When something interesting was happening, I snapped every single image (automatically) and have kept them all - hundreds of thousands of the things...  Here's just some of them.  (Image changes with each page refresh).  You are welcome to incorporate it into your own website, please get in touch for instructions.
