Police just ordered our whole row back - do we lose the relic or is the tusker about to pass
We have been on this kerb since 5. Officer just started waving the entire front row back and someone said "tusker coming." If we give up this metre we will see armpits. Is this the actual Pulathisi Raja moment or are they just widening for the whip line again.

Move. When they wave a whole row back it is because an elephant or the casket needs the lane, not because they hate tourists. Pulathisi Raja is carrying tonight's Sacred Casket - that is the one you came for. Two metres back and standing still beats being the person an officer has to grab.
The row that argued on Wednesday got moved anyway and saw less. The row that stepped back saw the tusker over people's heads, which is still the tusker.
6,200 officers on this season. They have been doing this since the 18th. Do not film the officer instead of moving.
