TWO men missed out on the seeing the Olympic torch after a fight broke out just before the torch passed through Cirencester last week.
The two Siddington men, aged 36 and 41, were arrested on suspicion of affray after they were seen fighting on CCTV in Cirencester’s Market Place at just before 4pm on Wednesday May 23.
They were taken to Cheltenham Police Station where they were later released without charge.

the street festooned with bunting
the people wait for William
moaning groaning grunting.
Somewhere the rumour started
and spread both far and wide
Prince William will carry Olympic flame,
with Catherine by his side
The Police in great profusion
added weight to this cruel lie
Even the Police helicopter
was up there in the sky.
The outriders on their Police bikes
the Coca Cola truck.
The cheer leaders from Santander
It was all too much
And finally when the ballyhoo was done
and old chap came
jogging gamely he came along
carrying the Olympic flame.
The people looked dejected
and barely raised a cheer
"We thought to see a celebrity
not some bloke from round here."
Now when you think about it
the fortune spent on it
What was wrong with box of Swan Vestas
To get Olympic flame lit?
(Alternate non PC version)
What was wrong with a fag lighter
To get that damned flame lit.

Olympic Flame
A sea of sullen faces
the street festooned with bunting
