Some of you may have heard via Annie Mole's blog (http://cjw.fpic.co.uk/c1357558.html) of the Flashmob and Rick Rolling event at Liverpool Street station this evening at 6pm.
Working just a street or two away today, I popped along and took a few photos, which I've uploaded to my Fotopic site - these can be found at:

IMO it was a bit of an anticlimax as with all uncoordinated events its difficult to get a group of strangers to start a song, in this case the 1987 Rick Astley hit "Never gonna give you up", in unison. This resulted in a faltering start and in total the entire event only lasted around 2 minutes.
It also seemed that most people who attended were there only to witness the proceedings and not take part - a shame cause it could have been so much more!
Hope you like the photos though - Liverpool Street station have probably never been so full
