The Olympic flame comes to Guernsey

A first for Guernsey … as part of it’s mammoth trip around the UK, the Olympic torch was in Guernsey today.

Around 15,000 islanders gathered in St Peter Port to watch it process around the town before it was used to light Guernseys own Olympic beacon.

There was a fantastic party and carnival atmosphere and even the weather played it’s part ! 😀
