At Aylsham, there were several other media persons, including Reuters video journalist Marissa Davison.
As hours went by in nothingness and the darkness fell, journalists were almost certain that they were at the wrong station; after all, it was well over an hour's drive from Andrew's home.
Just when the two Reuters journalists decided to pack up and book rooms at a hotel, Phil, who had already started heading down the road, received a call from Marissa – Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's cars had arrived.
Phil reportedly raced back, just in time to see the two vehicles leaving at high speed. There were two police officers in the front car, so intuitively, the photojournalist aimed his camera and flash at the car behind.
