| Comment | I agree - it's one of the better ideas that I've seen. Looked good, made the point, didn't seem to endanger anyone.
The only drawback is the disposal of the flares afterwards - dropping them into the Clyde at least extinguishes them safely but not the most environmentally friendly option. Not sure what else could have been done though.
(I remember one torchlit parade where there was a skip at the end of the route for everyone to chuck their torches into, and it was either hosed down or left to burn out safely. I've now got this image in my head of a skip lorry full of still-burning flares driving down the M8...) |
