To the people who have commented before, how can you be so miserable? The events team did great and I congratulate them. I practically lived in the city centre from the torch relay to the lord mayors fireworks. Along with thousands of others!

In what way was this annual lorry crawl a "free" event? Free perhaps for people who don't pay local taxes - certainly not free for anyone who pays council tax.

Are the organisers going to admit they were a failure? I went this year after a two year break, and did not find them as enjoyable as before. In fact quite boring.

Celebrations may have been a success but what about the traffic management shambles. City grinding to a halt with in-effective use of 12year old looking eventguard personnel
