17/04/84 St James's Square

I strolled down Duke of York Street heading for work, which meant cutting across the top corner of the square. Today there was no cutting across though. A friendly policeman ushered me across to the central pavement skirting the gardens and behind crowd control metal barriers where people seemed to be slowly gathering. Then back across the road and into my office doorway.

I was curious, but not so much that I hesitated, although the growing crowd across the road was getting rather noisy. I was an adman. I had work to do.

Just as well I didn't stick around....
