Yes, how did it go?

We hope to go and see the torch arrive in Bowness next week when we will be in the area. Missed it here as we were away on holiday.

Only got to wait until 18th to see the torch here in Bridlington.

Apparently one local woman said she was going to use a water pistol to put the torch out as she was disgusted that local people were not carrying the torch
