Olympic Torch visits Halifax

Went down to 'The North Bridge' in Halifax with the kids today to watch the Olympic Torch Relay. It was very busy, the streets were packed with hundreds of people. Everything was running a bit late but eventually the whole entourage rolled down the hill from Shibden park. The torch was somewhat overshadowed by the Sponsorship buses which added all the razzmatazz to the whole event.


Frank Chislett who runs with Andrea at the Halifax Harriers carried the torch over North Bridge. The kids liked the whole occasion and pushed through to the front to get a better view of everything. I had to remind them that it was a 'once in a life time' event. I certainly won't see the Olympics back here in the UK in my lifetime, wonder if the kids will?
