The weather was fine today and we saw no rain at all during the Petition hand-over. We did get a moment of sunshine to fall upon the team as they delivered this vital document to the Office of the Prime Minister at the door of Number 10 Downing Street, his Official Residence. The staff and Police at Number 10 were more than helpful to our team who entered the secure compound. An experience they all will not forget in a hurry.
We were all welcomed into the gated compound to deliver this well written petition, the Policeman who accompanyed our group even took some photos of us all!
We anticipate some comments from the petitioners shortly
