And the spotters ? They buy their souvenirs for their personal 'museum' at home  or on their jacket.
 
A man in the evening...  also a man days over. These guys know their limits and responsabilities ! 
They're always willing to pose for press, and show their connectedness and friendship.

Another giant participating was the UK Merlin...
... department store with roof-drive !
