Thousands of people decended on the Olympic Torch Procession today leaving bungling coppers forced to bundle the torch (which had gone out) onto a bus.

An angry but peaceful crowd forced the police to retreat on Fleet Street and the flame made the journey to Tower Bridge by bus.

Meanwhile heated debate, if not scuffles, almost broke out at Canary Whalf between Free Tibet protesters and Chinese students.
