I went to Big Beach Boutique II with my seven-year-old son perched on my shoulders and stood near the front.

We had a ball. It was a truly memorable event with very few incidents, considering how many people were there.

It should happen every year and, with the expectation of larger numbers of people, the authorities will be able to prepare themselves better and, perhaps, ban the sale of bottled beers all day.
