Limpic torch in Tynemouth

Today we went to Tynemouth to see auntie Kirsty and nanna, and whilst we were there I saw a man in a white tracksuit holding a fire. There were lots of people on the path watching & cheering and the man was smiling. It's all for this thing called the Limpics which they're having soon. I don't know what that is but judging from today it might be quite fun.
