just take a feed, adding a few room mics for atmosphere, while the kit
that they would have been using for a football match tomorrow was
already on an OB truck, and can be very quickly rigged according to the
plans that were used for the last state occasion they held there. 5 or 6 cameras with wireless links back to the OB truck? The outside shots were likely to be a news crew or two.
The camera location plan has probably been in place for years. A tiny
part of operation London Bridge, and probably operation Forth Bridge
before it.
If they'd had more warning, they could probably have done something
about the glare from the already fitted internal floodlights.
(Polarising filters on the cameras and lights come to mind as a simple
way to do it.)

Well I’m impressed. Presumably all done without rehearsal.

I know three people coming over from New Zeaand merely to see Abba Voyage. Who is going to repay them for the air fares??

Just about everyone from the UK OB industry retuned home before the show
had even opened on Friday morning.
They were the lucky ones. There was chaos at Schiphol yesterday, Queues
of 4, 5, 6 hours. Many missing their flights.
I was lucky, I had a early flight, so only a 2 hr queue, and still
enough for a cuppa at the gate. Many are trapped there still today.

The problem remains for many of them that their luggage is somewhere in
a huge pile at Schiphol.
I decided before flying out last week (given Shit-pole's reputation), to squeeze everything into my little tiny wheelie case, and I never let go
of it !
