It seems everybody had brought "the big camera" as well as the usual smartphones to immortalize the day. Just behind me one mother who was trying to fit her brood AND one of the chimneys AND the pigeons flying above in the same frame exclaimed: "Aren't I clever! I've got a souvenir of the family and one of the chimney before they change it all, all in the same picture!"
The light was very flat and dull, so the few chunks of bright colour really stand out.
