It’s been one of those days. This morning as I travelled on
a bus through Rye Lane I saw a police operation… uniforms moving fast. Moments
later a collection of limousines, the shiniest I’ve ever seen, parked outside
Rye Lane Chapel on double-yellow lines. There was a funeral. Then, when I
reached the West End I spotted Prince Charles in the back of a (shiny, of
course it was shiny) black car (his presence announced by a police outrider
blowing a whistle). But all this was topped by the sound and sight of a guy who
looked like he lived on the street. There he was outside Oxford Circus Tube
making music with a traffic cone. I kid you not. He blew into one end and out
the other end came ‘Hey, Jude’ as if played on a trumpet, sort of. I didn’t
have my camera. Shame. Loads of others did and an Irish guy said to me after
he’d finished filming: ‘That’s going straight on YouTube.’ Lots of people
tipped money into the inventive musician’s paper cup.
