Boris came through in his official car way ahed of the parade waving to everyone, no doubt he was checking the route making sure it was fit for purpose as he is pretty much a hands on person.

I started off at trafalgar square but the crowds were just to large so i walked down to St Pauls and managed to find a spot where i could film, it was a great atmosphere...

I went to this yesterday and was very impressed, 21 floats and hundreds of thousands of people. We choose a narrow part of the route so we'd be near the floats and we could see the whites of the eyes of Mo Farrah, Jessica Ennis, Victoria Pendelton, Rebecca Adlington, etc. A great day.

We were at the top of Fleet Street near the Law Courts. Very impressive procession.
