Here there has to be massive security, large groups of supporters, large groups of protestors, smaller groups of people who want a glimpse at celebrity...and all the usual folks just trying to get through their day.  Oh - and the press...lots and lots of press so that the 8 people who weren't there in person can have a play-by-play and photos from every angle.

I find it funny how some Americans talk shit about following every move of the British royalty yet will fall all over themselves for politicians.

It's due to the fact that a fair number of people are morons.....
