Five of Burnham-On-Sea’s Olympic torch bearers attracted plenty of attention when they displayed their torches during a special walkabout in the town centre on Saturday (May 26th).
Arthur Gilbert, Tony Bird, Jason Vickers, Katrina Doyle and Sarah Milner Simonds attracted cheers from shoppers on the High Street.
The walkabout was held to promote Burnham’s Jubilee parade, which takes place this Saturday (June 2nd), leaving Apex Park at 11am and ending at the seafront Pavilion where the participants will join a world record sandcastle making attempt on the beach at 12.30pm. Several of Burnham’s torch bearers will be leading the parade and all will be welcome to join in the event. Complete guide to Jubilee celebrations.
