A belated answer but yes, HM appeared at around 10.30.

I was there a little earlier at about 4am where thousands were camped out on the streets outside the palace. It was very surreal as there was no noise at all from such a large crowd ...

:laugh: I was going to mention that your hands were too steady for it to be 'on your way home'. Maybe your shaky hands were synchronised with the wind blowing the lights :D

^ I thought he just finished that last month or the month before. I suspect he's now on his "retox" program. :P :cheers:
