Some of those hired as stewards had to spend the night before the pageant sleeping under London Bridge.

This was debated on LBC

The company in charge would not speak on the Radio.


BBC London Local News
just said Close Proctection UK
said some were paid
and says sorry about making them sleep under a Damp Bridge
