  Let's hope when he does land there will indeed be "sudden drop in gravity" from the waiting crowd.

  Like all members of the armed forces, he has shown incredible courage to do this very worthy fund-raising - very well done that man.

  I saw him coming down over Connaught Barracks into Duke of York's playing fields as planned. Heard a lot of cheering and a band playing.
  
  Glad he landed before the weekend as I had a vision of him arriving as the Tigers jumped into the Tattoo arena which would have caused a few problems.
