Yes, the Round Tower was useless for taking photos as the media were out in force. We walked up harbour a little way to the open space next to the Spice Island Inn which was not crowded and gave an excellent view as Illustrious came into view. We managed to catch her again from the ramparts after she had passed through the entrance.
A very sad and dignified exit for a ship which has given over 30 year's excellent service.
