THE continuing SO Festival linked-up with the Olympic Torch Relay in style in Skegness on Wednesday.

To mark the torch’s arrival, a bunch of SO Festival acts were out in force from around 10am to 2.30pm.

Among the merry menagerie was Lobster a la Cart (see video), who entertained the crowds around the Clock Tower shortly after the ‘Follow the Light’ parade came to a spectacular conclusion.
