| "...Robin Hood Roundabout on the A34 - that's a good place to stand" |
 |
| Crowds gather - its a lovely morning |
 |
| Now behave! (Lots of police, lots from the Met) |
 |
| Spares and Standby |
 |
| Bearers for the Solihull section - all in white like a cadre of penitents |
 |
| This happy family are all smiling - they have tickets to see the athletics (4x100m finals no less) |
 |
| Police motorcyclists waving, smiling and fist-bumping bystanders |
 |
| Here it comes - what a buzz, everyone is excited |
 |
| Recycling Jubilee Paraphernalia |
 |
| The Olympic Flame is 6 minutes away... |
 |
| Two police cyclists passed by - both with bags on their backs - the spare torches are in the bus - so what is in the bag? |
 |
| Here it comes - all cheering and emotional |
 |
| Its number 23 - Harv Daliwall |
 |
| Once in a lifetime - make sure you get the picture |
 |
| Over in less than a minute |
 |
| At Robin Hood Island |
 |
| Change of bearer - cheering crowd and a pipe band playing 'Scotland the Brave' |
 |
| The technology works fine |
 |
| Crossing over the border to Solihull |
I am volunteering for the Olympics - I got my security/anti-ambush marketing/public facing role training last week - about 700 Kraft*-bury folks will be working with LOCOG. If you are in Hyde Park (Live Nation) between 2nd and 5th of August - come and say 'Hello' at the Cadbury House.
*If you are at the opening ceremony you might get to see Irene
