The Olympic Torch at The National Memorial Arboretum, Arlewas. Torch bearer, Lance Corporal Johnson Beharry VC, the youngest person to have been awarded the VC. Today, June 30th, was also Armed Forces Day, which is why he was carrying the torch here. A very moving experience which we were able to share quite by chance and thanks only to a split fuel line..funny things happen to us on this trip!
Wouldn't be British without a marching band!
Tres anglais!
