With all the hype from the media about Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor Rally, there had been several numbers being thrown around about the expected attendance of the much anticipated rally. We heard that Homeland Security had been preparing for 200,000 people, while estimates from rally organizers as well as the media ranged from 20,000 to 500,000. Glenn Beck himself predicted there would be 100,000 people there.

Now that it’s all said and done we are getting a better picture of how many people showed up for Beck’s rally for the troops. AirPhotosLive has given an estimate from aerial views of the rally at noon today. Using their expertise, they estimated that somewhere between 78,000 and 96,000 people showed up. This was a lot less than the Rally’s organizers had a permit for which was 300,000, however, very close to Beck’s own guess. Overall, attendance wise, Beck and his organizers can’t complain, especially since millions likely watched it on CSPAN in their homes.
