Olympic Flame at Stratford Six Days Early

Stratford High St, London. Sat 21 Jun 2012


 
 First there were coaches and lorries advertising the sponsors.

 

 People on them tried to generate some enthusiasm by waving and jumping around
 But the audience was not greatly interested

 

 The torch itself generated a little more interest. I've no idea who 070 was carrying it, and she handed it over to

 071 at the junction with Warton Rd, which leads into the Olympic site a couple of hundred yards away

  But of course the torch has a much longer route before it returns to Stratford
 
 

 

 
      
Then O71 ambled on with the torch 

While a party of people visiting the Olympic site watched from the bridge, with a big wooden torch behind them.
