Organisers at London mayoral counts were left red-faced after spelling “assembly” wrong on press wristbands.
The mistake was noticed across the city as the bands added an extra ‘e’ to the word, making it “assembley”.
Reporter Sam Tobin at Olympia tweeted a picture of the blunder with the caption: “They’ve spelt “Assembly” wrong…oh dear #LondonElectionsSWL”.
