According to Sky News 200,000 people braved the freezing temperatures to watch the firework display in London. Did someone take a headcount for Sky News? I've never been convinced of crowd numbers the media gives out. I've always believed they sensationalise the numbers in an attempt to impress. I suspect the true figure was more like 20,000, if that. Plus, of course, Sky News doesn't want to ignominise London by giving out the true number of people who watched it's firework display, highlighting to the other cities it was watched by the fewest people.
