Blimey, didn't someone tell that initial bloke he was supposed to run with the torch, not stroll with it like it was some old folks home outing? Presume that's why they're so late? Didn't they check people could run before they selected them?
Also, they were just trying to light the torch in Falmouth but couldn't. They had to get another backup flame out of the van!
The female police officer who is part of the 'protection' runners immediately to our left (or the runners right) is really not the most ideal shape for running, and looks like she's seriously struggling. Especially since the current torchbearer has broken convention and started to actually run as opposed to waddle a few feet then walk for a minute, and then repeat.

Haha:D:D
From the Met apparently.
They're not doing their best to make the run look very friendly are they?
Oh right, thanks.
No, I find the penguin quite scary.
The most paradoxical and frustrating form of Irritable Bowel Syndrome there is.
I see the physical requirements of being an active police officer aren't quite what they used to be.
and they cost nearly £ 200
I didn't like that when I heard it yesterday.............
I'm not watching, I have Jamie Oliver on. I'm also waiting for my bath water to cool down because I overfilled it when watching the runners.
Yes. I'm a bit upset that they haven't been issued with steel-capped boots and cattle prods. Overkill, maybe, but it would be entertaining.
This is embarrassing - supposed to replicate the Olympian dash in Greece, but our population aren't fit enough to run.
Disgusting.
The harbour area is pretty but the outer areas are grim.
