Not only were they announcing to crowd quite often to drink water as often / when needed but they kept bringing loads to a place right behind goalI remember it as one of those 3 wheel Ice cream Carts but may be wrong . Every so often they came and added loads more water and though it didn't get chilled much was appreciated by those using itTemp was something like 99.4 at Heathrow just failing to do the 100 but as above I stayed overnight and next day 100 + was reachedI don't feel guilty at pouring water over my head. I had a pee at HT waited till Q died down for water tap in bog and filled a 2 litre bottle and every so often poured it over my head.God , it was hot as hell. The temp. not the water
