IT WAS a trip down memory lane as Eddie Izzard came to Harlow and ended up at The Square.

The famous comedian had been on a whistle stop tour of Essex, visiting Thurrock, Basildon and then Harlow.

Mr Izzard, along with scores of supporters went along to the Broad Walk in the shopping centre. He then walked over to The Square, where he was welcomed with open arms.

Here is a film of his short speech to the assembled throng and then we interviewed Mr Izzard about the day.
