The Olympics torch managed to pass through London yesterday without being stolen, as some protesters tried to do.
There were scuffles and protests along the route, and 35 people were arrested; at some stages, the protection around the flame was three deep, making it almost impossible for the crowd to see it.
After a change of route, the Chinese ambassador was able to carry it unmolested through China town.
The cost of protecting the flame yesterday is estimated to be around £1M.
Money well spent?
