Olympic Torch

Tonight the Olympic Torch Relay ran through Guildford to Stoke Park and we watched it hurry by.














There was lots of razzmatazz with bands playing, police on bikes high fiving the crowd and eventually the jamboree of sponsors' coaches, buses with runners and their torches, and at last the main event which hurtled by with hulking bodyguards in grey running suits.

In the middle of it all was Gemma Howell, Team GB Judo medal hopeful in her white track suit, holding the flame aloft and suddenly she was gone and it was all over. But what a great thing to see the flame on its way to the Olympic Stadium for next week's opening ceremony and the rest of the Games.
