Gaye's 80th Birthday Treat in Newcastle (4 days early)

Newcastle City Centre on Saturday morning near the Theatre Royal. Very few people about as there was a huge police presence due to the impending problems that have been occurring in cities over the last week. It was in actual fact not a problem thanks to the police. 
Near the front of the Theatre for Come From Away a musical about 9/11 and the 38 planes that diverted to Gander in Newfoundland as a result of the hijacking of planes that were flown into The World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. There were 7000 passengers to accommodate in a town with only 6000 population. The show was fantastic and full of humour as well as emotion.

The results are out on Thursday and they all head for a 2 weeks holiday in The Netherlands on Saturday. Hopefully Hannah will stay and they will all leave her there to start her studies in Biology.
