This our first view of the queue...erk! After 2hrs we were at the door to go in when suddenly 8 police arrive and we are told there will be a delay. 1hr later they leave with a backpack left in the house by someone ... suspicious package no doubt. Made the wait in 32C heat that much worse...

standing in line for 3 hrs then another hour due to a security breach we were 2 steps away from getting in....argh... someone left a backpack. worth the wait tho to walk in the steps of greatness.
