A police officer talks to a cyclist at a cordon checkpoint near the Casino. An armoured vechicle is parked beside the cordon. The photographer comments, "The army are doing a fine job manning the cordon around the city centre. It must be pretty dull work and the weather isn't that flash at the moment. It's still surreal to see armed vehicles guarding entrances to the city though".
