DC Editor Adam writes…In December 2016 I posted the The Daily Constitutional's blog post number 5,000.
To mark the occasion I've been digging in the archive and over February 2017 I'll be reblogging The DC's "Greatest Hits" – my 50 favorite posts.
In addition I'll be sharing my 50 favorite London photos to have appeared here since October 2008.
I hope you enjoy them

Protective Gloves For the Executioner
You Said It… an occasional series relating questions asked and comments overheard on London Walks walking tours…
Adam writes… Last night I was leading a Ghosts of the old City walk for a group of Year 3 primary school pupils.
Upon presenting the gory details of hanging, drawing and quartering to this horribly delighted group of seven-year-olds, one little girl put up her hand asked the following question:
"Did the executioner wear protective gloves?"
I would jolly well think he did.
A London Walk costs £10 – £8 concession. To join a London Walk, simply meet your guide at the designated tube station at the appointed time. Details of all London Walks can be found at www.walks.com.
