The Olympic Torch Relay In The Meadows

I was so excited when I knew that the Olympic torch relay was coming to Nottingham!

I booked the day off so I could see the relay come through the Meadows area of Nottingham. I have lived in the Meadows for 34 years and did not want to miss a thing! I positioned myself on the corner of Ryehill Street and waited! The excitement grew as we could hear the music from the convoy as it came over Trent Bridge.

The music became louder as the convoy moved down Victoria Embankment and through the Meadows...at last we could see the convoy coming!

 One of the vehicles....

 I was even more excited as I realised the torch was going to change over right in front of me! Waiting for the flame to arrive...

 The two torches 'kiss' and the flame is passed over...

I feel so blessed that I was there to witness something so fantastic! I never dreamt that I would be so close to The Torch! It is very exciting that The Olympics 2012 are right here in the UK....
