     1
     2   MR. RAMPTON:  And just to the right -- sorry, the left of the
     3        plane tree.
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Can we sort it, that looks like a plane tree
     6        because of the distinctive bark, but I think what, in her
     7        aside, Ms. Steel is saying is that there are plane trees
     8        further up the road but the trunks are in shade and one
     9        cannot see whether it is plane tree bark or not?
    10        A.  I am not sure what they are, but that is the one I am
    11        referring to.
    12
    13   MR. RAMPTON:  Sorry about that.  I thought it was more obvious
    14        than it was.  That is the plane tree?
    15        A.  That is right.
    16
    17   Q.   To the left of the plane tree, perhaps slightly nearer the
    18        camera, is the rear half of the cow?
    19        A.  Yes.
    20
    Q.   And one must assume, also, its front half?
    22        A.  Yes.
    23
    24   Q.    Obscured by two people who are doing, sort of, tumbling or
    25        acrobatics; do you see that?
    26        A.  Yes.
    27
    28   Q.   There is a person in an orange tutu?
    29        A.  Yes.
    30
    31   Q.   If you go to the left of the cow and the tumblers, there is
    32        some sort of implement lying on the kerb; do you see that?
    33        A.  Yes, I do.
    34
    35   Q.   And then beyond those?
    36        A.  A group of people.
    37
    38   Q.   Club juggling equipment?
    39        A.  Yes.
    40
    Q.   Using those points of reference, roughly speaking, where do
    42        you recall seeing Ms. Steel standing handing out leaflets?
    43        A.  I would say, roughly speaking, she was standing just
    44        nearer the kerb than the young lad with the highly coloured
    45        jumper on behind the cow's rear end. It is somewhere in
    46        that line there.
    47
    48   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I have not identified which man you mean.
    49        A.  Sorry, my Lord.  In photograph 15 you can see the rear
    50        end of the pantomime cow, and then just to the left there 
    51        is a group of four or five people and there is a young 
    52        fellow with a...  It might be a banner...  It is a very 
    53        decorated front, I cannot make it out.
    54
    55   Q.   Or is he holding something?
    56        A.  Yes, he may be.
    57
    58   Q.   In dark blue jeans?
    59        A.  That is right.  I would say she was standing about 2 or
    60        3 foot from the kerb and so that would put her in between
