David was in the lead until the very last stage. The vote by trade union affiliates and the socialist society made the difference.
The conference hall was packed with members even standing around the edges. As the result was announced there was a huge cheer. Around me delegates were hugging each other and some were openly crying. Ed was clearly emotional during his acceptance speech and I am sure it must have been also emotional for David as both brothers walked out of the hall together side by side.
