Well hurrah with big brass knobs on.
Needless to say first GG hit the streets minutes after 18:00 hrs, appearing on ITN within half an hour.
Must admit it was reassuring and, call me sad, a bit moving to see it lumber off in to the night to raptuous applause and rousing cheers from on-lookers. Later tonight I was in town and one went past (off call) and the place ground to a halt as everyone, even those in cars and pubs, came on to the street to cheer the crew home.
The Blitz spirit is clearly alive and well.
Keep up the good work boys 'n' girls. You are clearly appreciated.
