ITV news just reported (on TV) that the British army has driven right into the centre of Basra. Their TV crew there filmed them driving in with... wait for it... Iraqis lining the streets cheering. When they stopped in the centre of town the locals jumped onto the tanks celebrating and the Iraq army is said to have disapeared, it's soldiers removing their uniforms.
It's easy to be cynical about this kind of news given recent events, but that was what the pictures on TV showed.
There is an article on the ITV site here: http://www.itv.com/news/1143127.html

There are some TV pictures on the ITV site but I couldn't get them to load.
