The Olympic Torch left Luton at 6.45am with Lewis Hamilton carrying the Torch. Here are some pictures from the North end of Dunstable as it makes it's way to Milton Keynes and on it's way to Aylesbury. The crowds got there early, and in the centre of Dunstable it was packed. Kevin and I watched it on the live stream till it got to MacDonald's on the A505, then we got our coats and strolled down to the High Street.
The final torch bearer was Penelope Green who has worked for 20 years fund raising for Down's Syndrome. She arrived wearing a pair of Golden Slippers, for her short stint to French's Avenue, before the flame goes by car, on to Milton Keynes and through Bletchley, Buckingham and Aylesbury to Oxford. Well that was early enough for my day off back to bed.
