Olympic Torch in Bournemouth: Part 2

Christchurch Road, Pokesdown

The Olympic torch passes through Pokesdown on Saturday 14th July, carried by
18-year-old trampoline gymnast Nathan Bailey, who holds the current rank of

Junior World Champion. Christchurch Road is packed with onlookers, with
those outside Pokesdown for Boscombe railway station spilling into the road.


@lisaculling: "Can't believe how many turned out for the Olympic torch.
Well done #Pokesdown, you did us proud. #OlympicTorchRelay #torchbmth

Olympic Torch in Bournemouth: Part 1

Wimborne Road, Winton

The Olympic torch passes through Winton on Friday 13th July. Thousands of local
spectators are lined along the entire stretch of Wimborne Road, savouring the ten
fleeting seconds to glimpse and cheer on the torchbearer. Minutes after, the street
is quiet again and normality resumes, but the moment will remain a fresh memory.


@SteveBaileyEcho: "The phrase everybody in Bournemouth keeps using when
you ask about what brought them to the #torchrelay is 'once in a lifetime'"
