RISE London Borough of Culture Event on Olympic Way, Wembley

Last night's crowd at the opening event of Brent's London Borough of Culture year was smaller than I had expected but it was a cold night. Many waited from 7pm until 7.30pm for the show to start. The effects were dramatic but there were complaints from some friends and family of performers that the stage was so low that they could not be seen.  I filmed the stage performers by lifting my camera high above my head but could not actually see them myself!
