We stayed at the GF last week and watched it from the beach there after our dinner at V&A's. Apart from us and a few ducks, there was <i>no-one</i> else there.
The ducks were hilarious. They started to toddle across the beach in front of us and I said, "Wouldn't it be funny if they stopped to watch". Sure enough, half way along the beach, they sat at the water's edge! After about a minute they went on their way. Guess they've seen it before.
