I had the opportunity to capture this video as I walked alongside Walter Gretzky during his leg of the torch relay in Vancouver today. This was on the stretch between Howe St and Robson St, and followed the flame to Robson Square.
Ha ha - I was running down the same street at the same time! I should have gone to video, because my pics were mostly blurry :( It was such a great moment though!
Love the drunk in the background screaming the National Anthem...

LOL! That was classic! Drunk at 8:30am, messing up 'Oh Canada' - loved it!

Awesome ~ it was definitely a great moment I'll never forget!
Wherever the flame went it was chaotic, and I found it difficult to get more than one good shot of the flame too.
Although I wish the video was perfectly still, I'm glad I took it :)
