Crowds gathered….. OK
But the light, its mid summer. NO CHANCE it was that dark at 10pm. My kids were out playing in broad daylight at 9.30pm!
It wouldn’t have anything to do with THIS would it?
Its a lot cloudier tonight (as can be seen in pics) so i’d expect it to be very slightly darker than yesterday.
