An estimated 108,000 people lined the streets of Islington in London when the Olympic Torch Relay visited the borough on 26 July 2012. This set covers the flame handover between school teacher Rhyania Blackette–Codrington and David Walliams outside Islington Town Hall on Upper Street
I based this illustration upon Torch Song. The main inspiration from the lyric were:
"I'd tear out my eyes for you my dear. Anything to see everything that you do.
I saw you so bereft so pale and weak when I looked through you and I declined to speak"
As you can see using the character present (based on Davey) I have formed a second face out of his extracted eyes. This is to represent seeing through someone else's eyes. The weakness of the other is shown simply but them being close to no existent; the superficial semi-formed facial features are all they are are.
And yes, before you ask, I am a Jhonen Vasquez fan and yes, the background idea I got from him haha. Hope everyone likes.
Named for Johannes Kniphof, a German reknowned professor of medicine from the 1700's, this genus of South African plants are closely related to the Aloe many of us reach for to soothe a minor cut or burn. The leaves of some Kniphofias are thick and succulent, similar to those of their healing relatives, while others are slender and somewhat spiky.

Kniphofia, Red Hot Pokers, Torch Lilies or Tritomas as they are commonly called, grow in temperate gardens around the world and are popular for their tubular flowers in shades of red, orange, apricot, yellow, cream and lime green. These blossoms are favorites of nectar feeding hummingbirds, butterflies and moths, and encourage garden visits by these jeweled beauties
This torch was ran for 15 min along the torch route for the Beijing Olympics.
It was amazing they let my daughter and I actually hold the real thing!
The sun shone as thousands of people turned out to celebrate the arrival of the Olympic Torch in Knowsley.
The iconic Flame arrived at Knowsley Safari Park to be welcomed by around 6,000 people at a free event for the community.
It was carried in by local teenager Claudia Dowdeswell and passed onto the next Torch bearer, Jane Campbell who completed the circuit of the Park.
The Torch bearers were surrounded by officers from the Metropolitan Police whose duty it is to protect the Flame throughout the national Relay.
Mike Dooling, who’d been a teacher in Knowsley for 40 years, brought the Torch he’d carried a few days before on the Relay in Tatton Park.
Crowds gathered around him to see the Torch and many got the chance to hold it, including Knowsley Mayor and Mayoress Cllr Norman and Wendy Hogg.
Around forty different community groups were also represented with stalls and stands and local people performed at the Park’s Moment to Shine stage.
To cheers and flag waving, the Torch convoy then moved onto Liverpool Road where the Relay began again.
It was carried through Huyton and out into Liverpool, cheered on by crowds, ten deep in places, who’d turned out to be part of the Olympic excitement.
One of the torchbearers was 16 year old Joe Shaw, from Kirkby, who was chosen because of his charity work for the disabled and the wider community.
“This was a great day for Knowsley,” said Cllr Eddie Connor, Knowsley’s cabinet member for Leisure, Community and Culture.
“It was so exciting and great to see so many people turning out to be a part of it. They were all cheering and waving flags. It was really something.
“The Torch Relay has made it possible for the whole of Britain to share in the spirit of the Games.”

A group of anti-abortion activist showed up carrying signs of aborted babies in one hand and the Bible in the other. There was much screaming between the two groups but no real confrontations.

The Olympic torch passed by my house today and I got this shot. Not the 'killer' shot I was after, but I did have a cheering 4 year old on my shoulders at the time...
