I used to marshal for many years and very much enjoyed it . A few ocean going bores and gob s**tes , perhaps , but that happens everywhere. But I do sense a creeping self aggrandisement by a minority - what the hell is that 'heroes on tour 'thing about ? I certainly wasn't a hero- I did it to feel part of an event and getting in for nowt was a bonus.
It's a necessary , but unglamorous role and certainly doesn't merit being regarded as some act of selfless heroism.
