10/n
I managed to get a bit closer, even with a security contingent keeping everyone back, and made a photo of the man himself.
Unless you were in this crowd, it is hard to describe how much they love ‘Our Tommy'. He is their saviour. They are following him, and he can do no wrong.
What I did notice was that his head was bowed down for the brief time I was able to follow this part of the march. It wasn't just to check his phone... this was over an extended period.
