The Olympic Torch is estimated to travel 8,000 miles around the UK and it is thought that 95 per cent of the population will be within a one hour journey time of the torch as it travels. It has caused quite a stir throughout the country and it is a fantastic opportunity to promote unity, show off the scenic UK landscapes and exhibit sporting aptitude.
I attended the Inverness concert which was a belter with music performed by a personal idol of mine Emelie Sande plus acrobatics and dance acts. Overall it highlighted how influential an event like this can be in boosting moral at a time when the country is suffering and in economic decline. It was a once in a lifetime experience having the torch in our hometown and I feel privileged to have been a part of something so monumental.
