The shot of the North Stand, taken from the South was made about 10 a.m. - after breakfast and reading the paper. The South stand, by early afternoon is heaving with drunk costumed fans and usually closed to entry - so you have to go early if you want to stay dry and get in and out to take a few pictures. The picture of the South stand taken from the highest reaches of the North was made about 1 p.m. when the march past was under way. It was a cloudy and misty day. I appreciate you looking and commenting. Cheers Howard
