Here's a pre-parade pic I took: the Lord Mayor, Councillor Harry Lyons, with the King of Manchester...
i passed them heading off down rochdale rd ...empty about half 8ish<br /><br />-- Wed May 16, 2012 1:39 am --<br /><br />bluwes said:chaddblue said:I was near exchange square at the end of the parade.
After they'd passed the bus seemed to vanish!! Did the driver put his foot down and disappear into Cheetham Hill ?!?
more or less..Went down Todd St in front of Victoria Station and away
i was speaking to a copper near victoria station and said they were told around 200k so i dont know why its being reported as 100k.ellibb said:BringBackSwales said:Just a question - what was the estimated attendance yesterday? Started reading this thread and it talked about 100k but then went on and on and on about Tevez's poster. It looked there must have been A LOT more than 100k on the streets surely?
On the tv news about 4pm yesterday it said the police were expecting 100k, that's 1 hour before I set off, 2.5 hours before the bus left Albert square and 4 hours before it arrived in exchange square.
Seems like all the media have settled on an estimate before most people had left home
For the record, I reckon at least 150k, the place was crammed
