What I wish to talk about tonight is that, of all the thousands and thousands who benefited from the actions of our honored guest, I consider myself the greatest beneficiary of them all.

At around 3 p.m., they forced their way inside, prompting the DLR personnel to seek police assistance. Eleven policemen from the City Mobile Group and the Police Precinct 1 were deployed.
