"There's only one toilet in the village, which was worse, there was a big line," added the 46-year-old, who had marked out her camp with Union Jack flags. The party started early for bleary-eyed fans on the first train from London's Paddington station as crowds packed onto the platform, although in true British tradition, the trip was delayed on departure. The crowd in Windsor was expected to swell to around 100,000, with at least 5,000 journalists, according to Thames Valley Police. Retired nurse Cynthia Osborne travelled from her home in Cardiff, Wales to catch the train, wearing an array of Union Jack branded clothing and a Welsh dragon hat. "It's going to be a lovely day, but I don't think I'll be able to retire" on the profits, joked shopkeeper Irshan, who had entered the party spirit with a Union Jack turban.
