Olympic Torch at brace of Fosters, a caged Tiger & an Aveling
 
We were invited to jon the celebrations as the Olympic torch procession entered Wolverhampton. Not the most salubrious area but we had a good time. Mamaged to go and have a look at the old Great Western Low Level Station. Good to see its been renovated compared to the last time I visited pity no trains run through the station any more. Managed to have a swift pint of Holdens Special in the adjacent Great Western pub. Day was topped off by seeing the Duchess come through Duffield. Few photos as usual:

Thanks Sam, the instructions from the council were to make lots of noise when the torch went past so we thought we better fit the big one!
