THOUSANDS of people lined the streets of Bicester to welcome the Olympic torch to town.
Crowds five deep cheered and waved their Union flags to salute the five runners.
The atmosphere was electric as Carly Castle, 32, of Banbury, Simon Cruden, 31, of Kidlington, Tom Rollason, 18, of Deddington, Amie Ing, 15, of Aylesbury, and William Zoghbi, 56, of the USA, raised the flame for onlookers.
Ms Castle said: "It was absolutely amazing. I couldn't believe how many people came out to support us. It was a once in a lifetime experience."
