We didn't arrive until after lunch but really enjoyed it. The shuttles were frequent and varied and some took their own routes, one passing our house on its way to Brasside.

I thought the buses were better laid out than in past years, too.

I did enjoy the silver jubilee open topper. Memories of a street party when I was 7 and working my way through a mug of sweets, washed down with cream soda and woodpecker sweet cider while my parents attended the adult part in the evening. My fair lady was on TV!
