Well we came up, twenty of us from the girls training core, stayed up here till early morning and got the last train home. The twenty of us came from Upminster, the feeling, oh it was lovely, we stood right near the Queen, actually clambered up onto some mobile toilets with a view. It was very packed and we stayed there till the evening, and it was wonderful.
There was dancing and singing, but I was only fourteen, so I didn’t really get too involved with the wine. It was an amazing thing to be part of, that’s why I wanted to be part of events today, but I couldn’t get tickets as they all went early.
