The Olympic Torch (finally) hit Folkestone today, and right by the office, which was handy. Here are some snaps…

With events of this kind come the sellers of crap…

The Police Bikers did high fives with the spectators. Dangerous if you ask me.

Folkestone needs more green tights.

Unfortunately I can’t work out who this guy is. The BBC site has a list of torch-bearers but, well, I can’t see him. I hope he was genuinely supposed to be there.

Some people loved it. Some hated it. Whatever your feelings, it was a one-off for my lifetime.. probably. All things considered, it was a pleasant distraction from work for a little while.
