Just back from seeing the Paralympic Torch Relay set off on its way from Stoke Mandeville Stadium and Hospital into the wider world.
Great fun and a wonderful atmosphere, but very disappointed that we didn’t get to see the torch bearers close up because they were running so very late … and we eventually had to leave to catch a train home, having already waved goodbye to the one we’d been aiming to get half an hour earlier
Stoke Mandeville and Aylesbury town centre were packed solid and I have honestly never seen so many obviously disabled people out for a night on the town before.
If you’re planning on staying up late / getting up early to see the flame pass by, give the torch bearers an extra cheer from me please - and have fun!
