A poignant touch. Grey Wolf also received a big round of applause at the beginning of the show.

I used to be undecided about this, having only seen photographs of it, but it's now clear: it's ghastly! Marmite I know.

As always, C&C welcomed.
A big "well done" to everyone at Team RIAT for putting on a really good show and reminding us all of what we've been missing. Bring on 2023.
