It's been an usual evening in my village.
The main road was full of people waiting.. There was a real party mood...
Some of them had flags and were dressed in red, white and blue..
Police on motorbikes closed some of the roads and stopped the traffic..
Then a small bus arrived with the words London 2012 Torch Relay on the front. It stopped right at the top of our close...
A young man got off the bus with an un-lit torch....
Around 6.20 more motorcycles, runners and vehicles appeared...
Then we saw another young man, dressed in white, running with a lit torch..
The runners passed on the Olympic flame and shook hands right in front of us..
The flame is staying over night in Worcester - in the beautiful Guildhall.
Tomorrow morning it's starting the next stage of its journey from the Cathedral Green.
It's been lovely to have been drawn into this national event...
How exciting - can't wait for it to pass through our town - a history moment! x
ReplyDeleteWe have the torch coming to our town on the 6th July and so looking forward to seeing it pass through. Such a momentous occasion and something to go down in prosperity. x
