Royal reporters

I took a quick walk to Westminster Abbey this evening and the crowds are gathering, people are pitching their tents and the media is in full force opposite the Abbey. I thought I would take some shots of the various presenters, I have no idea who they are, do you?
 These people are gathering below the media scaffolding, here is where people are pitching their tents opposite the Abbey
 This presenter was eating a sandwich whilst putting his microphone in place, no idea who he is.
 The man in glasses is our Royal Correspondent Nicholas Witchell.
 These ladies had pitched their tent in prime position and were being interviewed by all channels but the lady on the right didn't seem too happy about it all.

 This lady was American and signed off for Channel 5, maybe you know who she is.

    You are certainly right in the thick of it. What fun, and I can imagine there is a real buzz of excitement...nothing like a Royal wedding to get people excited, in a positive and negative way. A lot of Australians are not interested at all and are totally over it. Me personally, I love it. I love tradition, and there is so much sadness in this world, that a little bit of joy, happiness and celebration goes a long way to lifting the spirit. Thanks for sharing these fantastic photos with us Justine. I will certainly be watching the TV tomorrow, raising a glass of bubbly and wearing my tiara !

    Wow Justine, you got some really fun shots! I can imagine the crowds are crazy there! I'm not really in to crowds of people, so I'm happy just seeing your photos and a bit of the footage on the "telly!"

    Great shots. Keep up the good reporting.

    By the way, America has a thousand Chanel 5's -- don't recognize her.

    You mean anyone can just pitch a tent, and be part of the festivities?
    I wish I had known that . . . tempting idea.

    Good stuff, Justine. More, please . . . .

    This is how I wish to view the royal wedding. There are people that are really into it and others that can't be bothered. I'm happy to see your photos and catch the highlights after the wedding is over. It's on at 4 a.m. here! Too early for me!

    Is that a ferris wheel on the left? Would they stop you at the top to take some photos?

    I'm a bit jealous of you - my sister and I have wedding fever. I'm planning to get up at 3:45 AM so I can see the festivities.

    You're obviously enjoying all the hype! I guess if you're pretty central in London it's difficult to get away from it. Nice photos.

    Loved seeing this side of the circus and putting the camera back on the people who are usually doing all the filming. I guess I shouldn't be suprised that there are already people camping out waiting in "prime position"... but a week camping in central London isn't exactly my idea of fun!

    Love that last photo!

    I can't wait to see what Kate wears. I'm such a wedding snoop, ha. Every time I see a friend tagged in a wedding photo on facebook I go stalk the album! This wedding will be no different - I want to know details!
