Anyone have a picture of Keith and Charlie leaving the stage?

Thanks Green Lady. Can you describe it a bit? Sounds like a great moment.

Yes unlike T1, T3 is not an easy place to catch up with people, rather packed! Good idea to stay in the shade as much as possible, I was struck by the crazy heat when I made a loo/sandwich run around 3.30. Being right against the rail in the corner of the stage/catwalk we got some decent protection from the sun in the afternoon when sitting against it. Looks like you had a pretty decent view and got more immersed in the "crowd" and the sheer magnitude of the event, not something you get when you're in the front...would be nice to be able to zip back and forth.
@johnnythunders - thanks for the lowdown on that punk woman who was blocking the view! Hopefully she wears it each day not just when going to concerts...I'll have to check the rest of my pics but I think I have some decent ones showing what it looked like from oppsite the catwalk with my hands raised high.

Well, first the usual business with the final bows: the whole stage personnel, then the core band including Mick Taylor. In between there was a lot of hugging - Keith and Darryl in a long embrace, among others.
But after the five-person bow, there was another one - Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ron, with Mick T standing behind them arms raised as if blessing them. Then very gradually they started to wander reluctantly off the stage. People say they saw tears in Keith's eyes: I wasn't close enough to know. But I do know Charlie and Keith put their arms round each others' shoulders as they left: I can see their two backs disappearing arm in arm offstage just before the stage lights went out.

Sounds like this was their last concert

Didn't see any tears from Keith - but a wistful look and a sadness (with a half-smile) at leaving the stage...
But that was only my view!
From what I have read the PIC are pulling them ASAP in anticipation of selling these HP shows.Quote

The lack of YouTube clips for this second Hyde Park gig is odd. We don't even get to hear the "lost chord" at the beginning of Start Me Up. It seemed like the U.S. shows had clips covering the shows from start to finish including final bows posted within 24 hours, but for HP2, virtually nothing.

Gotdablouse was right about the French punk woman (definitely not a girl) at the front of T1 with the yellow coxcomb which stood up about two feet and made it very difficult to see anything if you were behind her (as we were). It's bad enough when people wear hats but this was disastrous. My wife asked her if she would swap places with her friend on the rail where would have impeded less people's vision, but she refused to do this. So we executed a stealthy sideways shuffle to end up standing behind a diminutive Japanese lady who stood on her shopping to see but was still easy to see over the top of. Phew, disaster averted.
