currently secure. any to show your to get anywhere past the security gate. some people drive themselves, some are driven and there. at the moment, it s a metal barrier that is pulled back in the car goes in and the metal barrier is closed. it s on a wheel and they shout at tourists and workers to stand back and we all stand on the side of the pavement. to someone who is a very security conscious, they may look at that and say that s we don t know if it was through that or the next gate just down from there, so confused. both of them link onto the old palace yard. clearly, this is something they ll be looking at once all the dust has settled. we also don t know if it s two separate incidents. we don t know if the person that has been shot by police or apprehend it by police within the palace yard, if it s the same person that was the driver
