Well the installation of the banners at Campbell park in Milton Keynes started brilliantly. It looked fab and the weather seemed to be contempt (apart from the stakes being stubborn and not wanting to go into the hard, dry ground!). Practice run went great with lots of onlookers, with the rose being edged with poppy filled meadow flowers it looked magical!
But of course when it came to the real thing, the clouds drew in (as you can see from the panorama below...) and of course the wind and rain came with them. It looked like we might just pull through when the biggest gust of wind swept through and pulled so many of the banners from their posts, all flying through the air just as the heavy music hit in for the performance, and the rain came hammering down.
People commented on how magical and eerie it was, but of course having the artist head on, I felt the wind and thought of the banners, trying to grab them as they flew through the air, so missed viewing it as it happened!
All in all though I really did have a fantastic day and great experiences, meeting wonderful people along the way! Thanks to everyone who came and a big well done to everyone who contributed in one way or another :) I've seen just a small part of how much hard work has gone in, so can only imagine the amount of effort from all parties, and in the end it looked amazing!
