I was watching the Channel 4 news when it happened. They were taken by surprise - they had completely ruled out the chances of this very thing happening earlier in the show.
John Prescott was there being interviewed and John Snow was commenting on this historic moment as Brown drove down to Buckingham palace to resign as the leader of the country and the labour party, Snow was trying to amp up the gravitas of the situation however he could as the helicopter fed through images of the top of the cars and Prescott kept cutting in with his normal charming comments, Old Labour through and through, shouting about the Tories and the Liberals and swearing, "by God!" to Oppose them whatever they come up with- it was awesome, complete lack of appreciation for the occasion - gotta love Prescott.
