Note du spécialiste

"...The evil weather conditions did not deter large crowds from gathering in Trafalgar Square and other places. The keen politician was very much in evidence, cheering and noting down the results with his pencil as they were flashed upon the screens. "The Daily Chronicle" and Pall Mall Gazette" indicators both attracted large crowds with members of the neighbouring clubs visited the outskirts of the square from time to time."
