We all got up at 6am to make sure that we saw the once in a lifetime experience as the Torch Relay for the London Olympics 2012 came to Preston!!
We were very excited and were definitely not disappointed.
We stood outside the Language centre at The University of Central Lancashire where they offer free English classes to students who are currently studying at UCLan.
It took about half an hour of waiting for us to finally hear some noise from the parade with the Olympic Torch.
Once the parade was in full swing we saw the likes of Lloyds TSB giving out free balloons, Coke giving out free bottles of Coke along with music and athletes from the area waving to us!!
Once the Torch had been passed just in front of us outside the University it continued through the rest of the City.
We ran as fast as our legs could carry us to the City Centre to watch the Torch arriving at it's final destination. We stood outside the Harris Museum which was amazing to see with hundreds of people lining up to see the Torch.
The students were really excited and described this as a once in a lifetime experience and I certainly agree.
Please take a look at our photo stream on Flickr which will show you how the day looked!!
