Olympic Torch run overshadowed by protestors.The Olympic torch run through London was overshadowed by protesters waving Tibetan flags and shouting "Shame on China"
The olympic flame was due to run through a 31 mile course around london.
Celebrating a "Journey of harmony " the london route may be best remembered for its interuptions, scenes of police scuffling with anti-China campaigners and images of rings of British police and Chinese officials guarding the torch.
In the most serious incident of the day, at Ladbroke Grove, a pro-Tibet activist broke through the security cordon and tried to wrestle the flame from the television presenter Konnie Huq, but not before being wrestled to the ground by police. They were then forced to rush the flame onto a double-decker bus in Fleet Street when about 100 protesters tried to seize it.
We stayed away fron that mess and took a look at the torch at Westminister Bridge.
