You could have climbed up Nelson's column
I'm sure many attempted to this afternoon

Of course, the new boy in town is The Shard. On Thursday night I was drifting down from St Paul's after a concert (

) and realised it was the night of the inauguration. Allegedly there was going to be a laser show, spotlights, music and merriment so I reckoned the
wibbly wobbly Millennium Bridge would be a good vantage point ... as did the other hundreds of onlookers

What a fiasco

What a pathetic show

I've had more fun with a sparkler

Apparently, so a neighbour tells me, the website for tickets to go up it crashed within minutes as well
