Police were called to an address in Waverley Road, Tottenham, at 20:45 GMT following reports that two men had been shot.

Doherty, 61, claimed he was "affirming" the victim - who has passed out from drinking - after being caught by passengers on the service to Edinburgh Waverley.

The peculiar tradition began after intervention by railway officials at Edinburgh Waverley Station, below the clock tower.

I bumped into him in Edinburgh soon after and we shared a taxi to Waverley station.

The Thames Barrier - opened in 1984 - was built following the Waverley Committee's investigation into the 1953 storm, and more money was invested in flood defences and early warning systems.
