Clearly 63,000 is too low, since the Victoria Park was packed to capacity, and well known to hold 80,000. My estimate, as posted here:

puts it around 100,000 to 150,000.

Yes, I would second that. I was also there and just estimating the lenght of the procession and the used width on the street would render 63,000 as some sprinkled people on a trail ... that was definitely not the case. Around 8pm people still arived at the goverment office. I thought some of the traffic arrangements were quite strange.
