The Parades arrived as did the Anarchists who took over the road in front of |Parliament and stopped traffic.

One FIT team was spotted and no doubt the noisy helicopter caught close-ups of everyone's faces. Unfortunately the rain arrived and many then fled the Square, including me, except for the stalwart campers and those with big umbrellas.
