Drag the little yellow Street View man to a street in London and see what happens 🙂 ---

Although I’ve barely heard of the wedding and avoiding it at all costs, that’s pretty neat. ---

I’m not getting anything–what did Google do? (I tried US and UK versions.) ---

Drop the man (only works on streets in the London area, but it works on .com as well as .co.uk) and he turns into [this](http://i51.tinypic.com/23sxfeq.jpg). Drag them, and they [wave](http://i51.tinypic.com/33tla8o.jpg). Or do a Nazi salute. Or possibly dance to _Stayin’ Alive_ by the Bee Gees. They got the colour of William’s jacket wrong, though. 🙂 If you go [here](http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ie=UTF8&ll=51.43838,-0.5&spn=0,0.303497&z=12&layer=c&cbll=51.43838,-0.5&panoid=vx6KFxPy2aeC0xoaONo1kQ&cbp=12,351.52,,0,17.43) and click forward one frame, they turn back to yellow guy. ---

It did work for me! I was just too dense to notice it–was looking in the Street View window portion, not the Walker Icon. Very sweet! Thanks for tipping us off. I would never have stumbled upon it myself.
