Re: olympic torch urgent assistance
Hedman I hope you get your video footage - I think when I was on the BBC website yesterday they said they hope to make all the live video footage available eventually. You might get it on Youtube as well.
Just watched the torch's journey through Accy, Church and Ossy. Anne did a great job - especially when somebody introduced a football at her feet! It was good to see so many people out in support and you had better weather in Accy than we had in Morecambe yesterday (see the thread My day in pictures for yesterday!). Also good to see an Accy person running in Accrington. Most of the torchbearers seem to have little or no connection with where they are carrying the torch, I have no idea why this is.

Sorry couldn't get there myself, but this coverage was the next best thing... brilliant. Your wife, Headman, certainly got into the swing of things .... obviously a lady with a great personality. Well done. |

Re: olympic torch urgent assistance
The whole shebang went past our office this morning ( a designated viewing point on Barbara Castle Way), lots of hype, liked the Samsung bus, rest of it was a let down really, though I don't know what I expected, maybe some celebs?

Re: olympic torch urgent assistance
Thanks for your kind comments
We've had a fantastic day and Annes had her 15 minutes of fame - the people watching have been fantastic even when it took 30 minutes to get back to the car from the Town Hall with people wanting to touch or have a photo with the torch Back to the issue of recording the events of this morning - we,ve just viewed the footage from this morning on the internet - how can I now save the internet footage onto my laptop i could film the footage via my cam corder but is there another way I can do it |

Actually I think if celebs were involved it would become too glitzy and detract from what is supposed to be about the torchbearers and their contributions to community and local life and sport.

Re: olympic torch urgent assistance
Yeah, TV Red button was covering the Grand Prix so missed Ossy/Accys moment of fame. I have attached some pics which I took along Blackburn Road.
