Before the people arrived the council men were out making things tidy..
The crowds waied expectantly..
A police car came......
A taxi and a van came......
Then we had a variety of police vans... the kids loved waving at them...
Then a vehicle promoting that well known kiddies health drink.
Then we had the convoy command vehicle..
There was a bit of a wait now but we did have umteen police bikes go thru as well...
Then we had the vehicle parade...
Bus full of resting security - those ones you see flnking the runner...
How did he get there? He was doing a roaring trade.
After another 10 minute wait we got a man on a bicycle and more cops on bikes.
Finally......................
A converted horse box...
another cop on a motorbike.....
Finally Finally...
I was at end of route so flame was transfered to the latern. Note the watchful security....
The man had his prize torch..
and that was it!
