    How fantastic, Joe! What a bit of luck.
    I had been hoping to do that, but missed it due to a dodgy leg. So - how long were you there watching?

    I really envy you.
    I've not been in work this season so should have had the opportunity to keep returning until it happened, so I'm really gutted (and VERY envious) that I haven't been able to catch it. Well done!
