Olympic Torch Comes to Saintfield! (07/06/12)


Spectators park their cars and head towards Main Street


The crowds gather on Main Street


Moving  to get the best vantage point!


The view from the Post Office


The advance team arrives.  The Coca-Cola vehicle …


… followed by the Samsung truck …


… with the big screen video


Watching and waiting for the Torch!


The camera truck arrives to cheers …


… followed by the Olympic Torch carried by Andrew Miller.  The moment we have all been waiting for!


The flame can just be seen passing along the Main Street


It’s good to see they’re using the Wright StreetLite by Wrightbus of Ballymena!


The police bring up the rear of the cavalcade.


The crowds start to disperse …


Saintfield is almost at a standstill


Not deterred by the damp morning the children from Saintfield Academy Primary
and Nursery Schools pose for the cameras in their Greek cosumes.  A day to remember!
