There are also the numbers to consider. 4 years ago the crowd was estimated at between 300,000 and 400,000. 8 years ago the numbers may have been higher due to protests. This time around 2 million may be an underestimate.

and a bit off topic here, but did anyone see the sunset tonight? Most beautiful one i have seen in 8 years
