So keen is the demand to record and film Prince Charles and Lady Diana when they emerge from St Paul's Cathedral on July 29 as husband and wife 'that cheque book journalism is in full swing. Several hundred visiting foreign journalists and photographers are scrambling for vantage points along the route from Buckingham Palace and in the narrow seventeenth century streets surrounding St Paul's. One American photographer is reported to have just paid £3OO for a window in the Mall.
Approaches are also being made io those amateur pic-
ture-takers among the 800 senior staff who will look down on the cathedral fromthe grandstand positions of Juxon House, the St Paul's churchyard headquarters of Barclays Bank Trust Company. These windows are above five lime trees just reaching maturity after being planted outside St Paul's seven years ago.
They present a problem as they will be in the way of television cameras sending live coverage to an estimated world audience of 50U million people. The City Corporation is reluctant 'to prune them back, and has doubts about a 24-hour removal and replacement.
