A shame
I welcomed it with open arms, but still couldn't get it through Watty's front door, the butler wouldn't have it

Did they have to pick the only day that the Market Square is busy, what brilliant planning on some officials part.

according to the "express" this week it has been sold for scrap, maybe someone still has their copy.

Jan, perhaps it could be promoted as a joint event: Watch the big screen come down AND go to the market!

With the Market Square closed and also Cannon Street where will the Market go into Biggin Street I guess, though why Cannon Street needs to be closed beats me.
All the other businesses in the area will undoubtedly loose money as well.

the world's press were there in force to record the moment for posterity, a bit like the fall of the berlin wall i suppose.

Sadly it seemed Phil had been beaten to it. Looks like the Mercury photographer had already been there. This was on their website early yesterday morning.
