Royal Wedding
 
My teenage son and I are going to London tomorrow and plan to spend the night of April 28th outside Westminster Abbey so we can have a front view of the historic wedding the following morning. Naturally our friends and family here and at home think we are mad but they will be glued to the screens trying to catch a glimpse us anyway! We`re are thinking of ways to be noticed . Any ideas? My son is keen to take an inflatable kangaroo but I feel people around us having spent a cold April night in order to get a good view will be less than pleased. I think if we both wear as much of same colour as poss we would stand out a bit.

No disparaging comments please but amusing ideas are welcome.

Bintang singlet, sun hat with dangly corks, thongs and a tinny/stubbie - and carry a home made sign that you can put over the barrier on an old sheet preferably that says "G'Day Sheila.....I mean Kate!"

Don't forget those adult nappy things! If you wear them over your trousers, that should get you noticed!:D
