I hadn't planned to see the torch, but did plan a trip to Cornwall with a Californian cousin of mine, and when she found out we were going to be there the day the torch started its relay, she wanted to see it. I was very impressed with the sense of community spirit - the torch was preceded by a procession of local children's sports groups, brownies / scouts etc, and local sporting heroes. It also became something of a running joke that wherever we went, the town put the bunting out for our arrival (apart from that one day, we were fairly consistently one day ahead of the torch).
