Nick Clegg visited Gravesend town centre yesterday, to play his part in a Liberal Democrat promotional video ahead of May's general election.
The Deputy Prime Minister was seen chatting to and taking photographs with members of the public during the afternoon, as filming took place around Windmill Street, which was closed between Railway Place and Lord Street from 10am until the early hours of this morning.
Agnes Mikulenaite tweeted: "It can't get any better than when DPM Nick Clegg comes to Gravesend to meet your family."

The Lib Dems had been filming in Parrock Street car park for two nights prior to yesterday, which confused residents who spotted a white, double decker bus and film crews.
They had also been filming in the area around Windmill Street, Railway Place and Manor Road, where traffic management was in place both nights from 5pm.

Council leader Coun John Burden said: “Gravesham offers good opportunities. It’s a mixture of old, traditional and modern.
"That’s why they are here.”
