Olympic Torch Relay: London 2012

Olympic Torch Relay for London 2012

 

On Friday, 13 July 2012, I was very fortunate to finally see the Olympic Torch and I didn’t have to go very far.  In fact, I just had to walk about 40 metres from my house to the end of my road.  The area was a lot busier than usual with people of all ages and their pets waiting patiently in anticipation of a once-in-a-lifetime view of the Olympic Torch.

It was a great atmosphere.  Once the police arrived beeping their horns and encouraging the gathered crowd, we knew the torch wasn’t far away.
