The Olympic torch relay ran through my town last Sunday, and I managed to snap a couple of shots while this guy was running with it. He looked so proud and so happy of what he had accomplished I couldn't help but smile, despite the chill and the rain the day turned out well.

I can't remember his name, but I had read somewhere that he was a triple amputee due to a bomb accident in his childhood. A triple amputee and yet he continued on with his life and helped his community, he makes me proud to be British and proud to be from Hemel.

Aw, lucky! It went through one of the cities near me. I saw everything, but some stupid woman decided to wave her hands about in the air so I couldn't see the flame through my camera >.< Good shots, by the way! :3

Yeah these were literally the only two good shots I got because of that. There was like a full grown adult leaning over the bars with a bigger lens than me, a woman next to me kindly offered her space once she'd got her money shot so that helped me. Raining as well, my lens dislikes focusing well in rain ): But at least you got to see it (:
