The Olympic Torch Relay

London 2012

Through Balby.

We were getting ready for the big event with a special sports week.

We gathered in the hall with high viz jackets, just in case.

Is everyone here?

Will they know who we are?

What do you have to do?

Is this the way?

We saw lots of support along the way... In windows.

We saw lots of support along the way... On balconies.

We saw lots of support along the way... on roofs.

Some were still adding the final touches.

And we had our own support, too.

Follow the leader.

Isnt it exciting?

Whats that?

We had lots of help.

Not that we really needed help!

Oh, mum, my coat is fine.

Have we all set off, yet?

That tape was handy.

Is this where you want us to stand by the St Francis Xavier Catholic Primary School sign?

Can you all see? It wont be long, now.

They must be close, now.

Coo-ee smile, please. Theyre over there, Miss.

Look!

Whos this?

Im practising my telly smile.

Im practising my royal smile.

Im not practising any smile at the moment.

Nor me.

Look!

Yer what?

Hold that banner up.

Theyd better hurry up, my batterys running out.

Have they been yet?

Pay attention, children.

Put your tongue away, please!

Is it over, yet?

When shall we three meet again?

Thanks, mum.

Please, God, make them hurry up.

Im hot.

I love my buddy!

Slip, slap, slop.

Smile, please.

Smile, please what me, too?

Which way are they coming?

Some didnt need to get there early.

Theyve had their seats booked for years.

Beginning to flag!!

Hello, children. Remember me?

Weve never seen a camera before!

Has anyone got a light, please?

Congratulations, sir, and thank you for your services to athletics in the area.

A few cars had to wait as well.

THE END
