On the beach, the security installed five sunlounger and parasol sets for the fighter and his family. There was soon a crowd of people taking photos, but mostly from a safe distance. "It's scary to get closer," said one man. Security were waving their hands and saying "no" to anyone who got too close.

By 9pm on Monday, the sunlounger sets were still there, having been installed first thing in the morning. The marina had meanwhile allowed two security controls to be positioned in front of the McGregor yacht.
