Fiesta Time (13): The Olympic Torch on Ipswich Waterfront

16.20 pm ~ I arrived as the stewards were being briefed ...
... there were a few people sitting outside Theta on the UCS forecourt ...

... the water was full of boats ...
... and flags ...

 ... David was busy tweeting ...

... as a float came past ...
... and then a balloon seller ...

... People arrived from nowhere, and soon the Waterfront was hopping ...
... We finally got a brief glimpse of the Olympic torch as it headed on towards Christchurch Park ...
... 18.45 pm, and somebody was still tweeting away in the sunshine! 

There has been much publicity about Poetry Parnassus, running in tandem this year with the Olympic Games. I will throw a link back to this previous post on poetry and Olympia ... here.
