No, there are no floats as such, think I got pics most of the vehicles that passed:

Police motorcycles
Some official cars and a bus transporting torchbearers
Samsung sponsor vehicle (missed taking a pic of this as the camera had shut down)
Coca Cola vehicle
LLoyds vehicle

The sponsor vehicles had little stages on the back and top and were playing music to jolly people up. Sometimes they give out freebies too I believe. Too wet today!
A big gap after these, then

A big yellow and white support vehicle, followed by the torchbearer in a white tracksuit flanked by several of the torch security team wearing grey shorts and top
A yellow car
Another bus

That's it, over in the blink of an eye. Before all this there is the usual police vehicle toing and froing to try and clear traffic, and there may be more going on in better weather, but no carnival floats today. There are also a few cyclists who I think are doing liaison between the various groups on the road at handover time.
No Susie you can call me Frank , Max is my dog.
