It may have been overcast and slightly muggy from time to time, but the 21st of June was punctuated by smiles, laughter and high-fives (and shirtless men crowding the dance floor at the Crystal Palace Ramada (disclaimer: not the reason why it was shut down)).

These two deserve some high-fives of their own.
