Olympic flame crosses the bridge at Newlyn on its way to London 2012.
Thousands lined the Coombe and New Road in Newlyn to see Roger Smitheram do the honours carrying the torch across Newlyn Bridge.
Awash with patiently waiting flame fans lining the road and what seemed an endless stream of police cars and outriders.......
a more official looking car appeared in the motorcade.......
then a bus full of Olympic Flame carriers, their numbers clearly visible on their white running tops......
followed by one of the big Games' sponsors........
and even a spoof team of runners with their own police escort.......
then the moment all hands had been waiting for since they arrived around 7am.......
and before they knew it the flame had passed them by on its way to Wherry Town and the promenade run in Penzance.......
in the excitement, Samsung's shiny new electric cart appeared to have run out of battery power......
and needed a roadside charge!.......
one minutes walk away and it's time for tea in the Mission and a chance to sit back and watch the flame being carried along the prom on the big Mission TV.......
and with Cornwall making the headline news it was only fitting for top Cornish chef, Nathan Outlaw to be cooking bass on James Martins' Saturday Kitchen.
