Our DD mentioned that they were asked to strike out only one question by the examiners. Can u confirm that they were asked to ignore two questions in Maths?

On a different note, it seems utterly bizarre that they would use the same paper for late sitters. Once a paper is 'seen' surely the whole exam is compromised. Another one of those 11+ peculiarities I don't get.

Yes. Especially for the English writing task. Every one seems to know what the writing task for today is and they will easily get the late sitters very well prepared for the writing task. Not fair at all.

Even I could see some parents this afternoon trying to overhear conversations from kids picked up from the morning session and giving ideas to their kids on the writing task in the afternoon session .

My DD also said it was one question which had part A and B which they were told not to answer.

I felt the same about the papers being the same for the morning and afternoon sessions. On the way back from collecting my DD, I overheard a mum and her DD on the way to the second session, discussing the topic! I thought those at the second session were in some way, at an advantage. I hope they did change the English paper for the second session.

Why do parents start interrogating their DC at school gate right after the test?

They should give a choice if it is the same for am and pm. But I guess nobody has ever claimed the 11+ was a fair system.
