Torch relay: anticipation

Crowds of local people in Westcombe Park wait for the Olympic Torch to come up Westcombe Hill. This was at around 8am, quite early for most people on a Saturday morning.

Olympic Torch Relay

The Olympic Flame travelled from Athens by plane to Cornwall, where it was taken to Land's End. On 19th May it started the 8,000 mile journey over 70 days carried by 8,000 runners to reach London on 27th July for the start of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
