    So me and my best friend Leah have been obsessing Lana for over a good year, we've been waiting for the chance to see her live for ages but we've never had the luck or chance. Until the tour was announced, we got two standing tickets as soon as they were available back in November for the first London show and we vowed back then that we would be first in line.
     
    And so on May 19th, we set off at 2am for the Hammersmith Apollo, I live fairly close so it wasn't a hard journey. We arrived, first in line as we expected and got ready for the long wait. By the time it reached 6pm and people were starting to get ready to move (doors opened at 7pm) we were knackered but excited. The door staff had already told us that knew how long we'd been there and told us a treat was on the way.
     
    About 20 minutes later Rob and a woman who I presume to be Lana's assistant came out with about 20 signed Paradise - Special Editions and 1 lyric booklet. Leah managed to grab the lyric booklet and I got a copy of the special edition. We were so grateful and nearly sobbed there and then.
     
     
     
     
    Then doors open and panic and chaos happens, people running and shoving to get to the front. Luckily we managed a front row position slightly to the right but a perfect view.
     
     
     
     
    Kassidy came on, did their thing which I have to say I enjoyed a lot more than I thought I would. At the end of their set Barrie threw his guitar pick onto the front of the stage and I managed to get one of the security to give it to me. I wonder if he washed his hands before he touched it..
     
    Then it was time for Lana! We screamed like absolute mentalists, which you'll be able to hear in the videos I post below. She was so so so good, words can't describe, we were shocked by her beauty, couldn't keep our eyes off her.
     
    Favourites during the show were probably Ride, Born To Die, Summertime Sadness, Young & Beautiful, National Anthem, Video Games and Without You.
     
    Ride, SS, Y&B and Without You had me crying, apparently I was on the big screen at one point..
     
    And then during Video Games, something amazing happened. We decided to hold up our "Can We Have A Photo Please? <3" sign to see if we could get Lana's attention and we did! She saw it and winked at us!
     
    You can see the wink here in this guy's video at 2:59 -
     

     
    Then during National Anthem she came down as usual, interacted with the crowd and then finally got to us.
     
    The conversation was something like this:
     
    Us: Can we have a photo please?!
    Lana: Sure!
    Us: Can someone else take it..?
    Lana: I'll take it!
    *Lana takes phone, stands next to us and takes 3 selfies.*
    Us: Thank you so much! We love you! We've been here since 2am waiting!
    Lana: I know! I heard about you guys, thank you so much! I love you! *Hugs and kisses us.*
    Us: Thank you! And thank you for the signed stuff earlier!
    Lana: Oh you got them! Good! I'm glad!
     
    And then she went, to the next person. We just stood there in absolute shock, not knowing what to do. But it happened! We finally did it after all that waiting!
