Here are my pictures of the relay in Bolton. The majority of them were taken at 6.15 this morning and the crowds were amazing!
Enjoy...

did they really take it through a petrol station!!!!

[spotter27]

No! The petrol station is part of ASDA which is on Kirkland Street and the torch passed it en route to Knowsley Safari Park. Inerestingly the torch bearers were from Liverpool (6), Stockport (1), Warrington (1), Mold (1), Macclesfield (1) and St Helens (2). This from the official torchbearers site, although it only mentions one from St. Helens. You would think that a town of 180,000 people could come up with more torch bearers!
