Outriders.

An amazing convoy of police on motorbikes, coaches, music, coca cola , fire engines & BMW's...in the end the runner & torch was a sort of also ran!

Would have been fantastic on a lovely sunny day but we all got drenched & cold.

On to Blackpool now where celebrations have been moved to the Tower ballroom.

What a shame. So many people waiting to see the torch. When will summer come?

[Rick Schies]

Well at least they didn't allow the weather to stop the events

[Barbara Paquette]

Brave souls for a moment of history!

[Jennifer]

Oh what a shame for everyone who waited. Great capture of the hardy souls who did though.

[Sean O'Neill]

How sad that the weather has ruined so much of a special summer for so many people.

[Sarah Bremner]

Well the fact that so many turned out at all says everything about the enthusiasm of the public! And the runners would have appreciated every one! Hope sun shines soon!

[Jane Pittenger]

Greta shot. Bummer re the weather though

[Linda]

Nice street scene capture!
