The Olympic Torch...

Love them or hate them the Olympics are coming, it seemed daft not to take the opportunity to try and grab some images of the Olympic Torch passing through Theale, Basingstoke and Andover. It's not something I'm likely to see again in my lifetime!

You got some fantastic photos Ryan. Great to get to see this up close, and the crowd shots capture the excitement of the event.
