Harlow Olympic Torch Day

A crazily fantastic day in Harlow yesterday. I was out in the Town Centre from 0600 to get a good vantage point to watch the Olympic Torch arrive. There was such a great atmosphere it felt like a carnival.
Huge congratulations to the police, emergency services, and especially Councillors and Officers,  many of whom had been up from 2am to get everything ready.
Hope you like the pics. The ones with me are with Wenlock, Vanda, local residents and Harlow Rock School.

Visit of Olympic Torch will be one of the most memorable days in Harlow's history

It was announced on Monday that the Olympic Torch will be visiting Harlow on Saturday, July 7 next year as part of the 70-day, 8,000-mile Torch Relay.

This is marvellous for Harlow and will be a massive day for the town and all who live and work here.

With the world’s media focused on the Olympic Torch Relay ahead of the Games this will be a fantastic opportunity to showcase what a fantastic place Harlow is.

Harlow Council are already working hard on the planning of various events for the day which is guaranteed to go down as one of its most memorable in the town’s history.
