Olympic Torch Day and Falmouth shines!

May 19th 2012, what an historic day for Falmouth! 40,000 people turned out to witness the Olympic Torch Relay as it came through Falmouth. Tonnes of events that were planned really made the most of this once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity. The world's media converged on the town so Falmouth really was THE place to be!

"I've never seen anything like it driving into Falmouth. I’ve never seen so many people out on the streets anywhere in my lifetime. I think if Falmouth is any indication of what the torch relay is going to be like in the build up to the games it going to be like nothing anyone has ever seen" - Three time Olympic Gold Medal winning sailor Ben Ainslie
