Olympic Torch, Day 51, Welwyn Garden City, Herts

This is the moment that Torchbearer Leanne Wellings of High Wycombe was passed the flame for her leg of the journey heading South through Welwyn Garden City along Parkway.

It was over in a flash, but the atmosphere was fantastic, well worth the wait. Highly recommended.

If you enlarge this shot you'll see the rain against the dark background, consistent with most of the day, although not enough to dampen the spirits of the crowd or extinguish the olympic flame!
