I attended a briefing on the Olympic Torch's route through Brent on Monday (I am Lead member for the Olympics). The route is finalised and there will be a major celebration event in King Edward VII park (the Wembley one). Some of the street dressing has already gone up, and the rest should be in place by the beginning of July.
A curious sidelight of the Torch's progress I thought was its detour to Dublin. Under UK law citizens of the Irish Republic are "non foreign" _ the only people to come into that category. I wonder whether there is any other country where the Torch has done a preliminary visit to an independent country?
