Do :) Typically British understated procession: Coca-Cola led in a bright red truck, then Samsung in a big blue one with a video screen on the side advertising something (I don't know what 'cos I wasn't watching) then LloydsTSB in a green one then nothing for ages except police cars and chatty police motorcyclists, who gossiped with anyone who wanted to talk to them. Eventually, the yellow 'Moment to Shine' bus, which had the camera rig on the back facing the torch-bearer and escort. Finally, the coach carrying the torch-bearers, who had had or were waiting for their turn, then more police cars. Everyone was smiling and it was gentle fun. Not at all like the Americans would do it :P The traffic in the other lane had been stopped in a long queue so the drivers got a good view but their engines were off and it was very civilised and so quiet, apart from the cheering, that we could hear the church bells very clearly, being rung in celebration.
