A London street; 9.50pm, May 11, 2010
One of the signs of ageing is that Prime Ministers start looking younger. For the first time in my life I'm older than the PM - and his deputy too.
And after the last week, I feel a lot older too. It's a great privilege to be a witness to history - I was present last night at what was Britain's first "Tories Out" demo in 13 years.
It took place outside the gates of Downing Street, as the crowds gathered to see the new Prime Minister arrive.
The crowds included a handful bearing Vote Labour posters and some newly-elected Tory MPs who had come to cheer their new Prime Minister.
Other arrivals were also warmy greeted - Nick Robinson's departure from Downing Street got a mixture of cheers and good-natured jeers. Well, he is better known than half the Government.
I did make it inside Downing Street for a special Radio Wales programme - you can see the view from our gantry above. My picture was taken as the Camerons left for the 10pm meeting of Tory MPs.
