Olympic Torch Yeovil

Well the torch was coming through Yeovil and as I only had to walk a short distance and it was once in a life time I made the effort. Set off at 7.15 am and walked to the end of the road already quite a few people waiting.

First there were a lot of police cars and motorcycles I think they were to keep the crowd interested.

Very disappointed that our leg started at Five Ways Roundabout and finished just past the Pub only about half a mile looks like the torch spends most of its time on the bus.

The crowds waiting for the the torch

First sponsor Coca Cola

Followed by Lloyds TSB

Last sponsor Samsung

One of the many buses

There were lots of support cars this one carried the official bikes
