File:The Queue - Parliament Square (52363631231).jpg
Probably the first and last time a Government Security Officer will seriously warn that, along with knives, explosives and whistles or other devices for making a noise, it is illegal to have a marmalade sandwich in ones bag.
Unforgettable - if somewhat exhausting!
Southwark Park to Westminster Hall 4.9 miles plus 3 miles within Southwark Park and 2 miles within Victoria Tower Gardens. Probably 10 miles in total. September 16th 2022. An historic thirteen and a half hours, night/day in the queue that could be seen from space. The never to be forgotten memory of the beautiful Thames at 2.00am and the dawn of a perfect London morning. Photos snatched along the way whilst endeavouring not to lose place in the line.
One of those days when everyone spoke to and shared their lunch with everyone!
There cannot be a single portaloo, metal barrier, police officer, first aider, volunteer or wrist band anywhere else in the country at the moment. Organisation was phenomenal and for the most part faultless.
