The local authority has seen fit to restrict the number of people allowed into Green Park for the unveiling. (Westminster council I umderstand). Only those with tickets for the event will get into the park. Even then the numbers who will get to to see the actual thing will be even more restricted. The majority will be coralled into a "saluting area" where they can watch it on a "big screen TV". I suspect many of those in the "Memorial area" will be politicians or diplomats. Of course the royal entourage will be there but that's fair enough. I suspect that those having to organise things have been harassed from all sides and have done their best to square the circle. They do have my sympathies but then so do all the "good old boys" who feel miffed at being kept from the centre of the action. So the answer to your question is watch it on telly like most of the veterans.
