He was watched by a vast crowd, estimated to be over 120,000 people.

Meanwhile, a record 7.3 million people tuned in to watch live on BBC One, according to overnight ratings.

According to The Times, some people pitched tents against barriers on the ground to hide tunnels they dug underneath to get their friends in.
