While some were in full period costume, others, presumably not scheduled to appear onstage for a couple of hours, were in dressed-down modern-day civvies.
The family will be organising a number of fundraisers in the coming weeks including charity walks, karaoke night and the local schools are having civvies day.
I have even refused to get on a plane because some commissioner of police and his wife travelling in civvies were stopped by security and asked to open their handbags.
