Ilkley's Olympic Torch Relay


Work was closed due to flooding so went uptown to watch the Olympic torch being carried through Ilkley. 3/4 hour before the torch is due and people are gathering in some numbers.


It won't be often that the police get a huge cheer just for turning up.


People getting high 5's from the bike cops.


Drink Pepsi, or neither, Scroobius Pip teaches "Don't buy Coca-Cola products, don't buy Nestle products."


Pretty girls, no other reason.


The main Olympic sponsor is of course Jim Robinson Decorators, here is Jim's van in the middle of the Olympic convoy.  You can call him for a quote you know. Still, I think he should have made more of an effort, even one of those plastic torches on the ladder would have made all the difference.


Huzzah! Hooray! Here is the torch.


Followed by a few minutes of friendly anarchy as people wander around on the road.
