Thanks for that info above there Paul, they will certainly get a good view from that position.
Yes with regard to the size ..the rolling bandwagon of it all has expanded hugely this morning. The BBC are here, Coca Cola( you better not drink anything else!), four Starcruiser Coaches, Olympic banners, further tented village springing up on the main concourse across from the Marina Hotel, there looks to be a big screen as well, and of course endless trucks and staff and security. Also emergency vehicles, police and a group of ambulances and so on. The barriers have proliferated further in big style and you cant move about...so it is certainly a big big production!
here is a pic taken right now...because its a wide angle view it doesnt tell the full impact of it all somehow...but yes its all happening. Exciting times!
