London 2012 Olympics: Wrexham Torch Relay / Wrecsam Cyfnewid Torch #bbctorchcam

30May12

A great morning in Wrexham to welcome the London 2012 Olympic Torch. Wrexham-based band Heal the Last Stand got the crowd in the mood for the arrival with their wonderful folky acoustic song “and celebrate”

I love this one too…
