In 2012, the Olympic Games were hosted in London! In celebration, the Olympic torch was carried through the streets of various UK cities, including Guildford. Onlookers lined up in the streets in advance of this, greatly excited to see a runner carrying the official flaming torch.
But then, a very silly and brilliant man called Omar Cornut ran out of the office, straight into the road ahead of the official torch-bearer. As he defiantly held a banana high above his head, he ran down the road, weaving past the half-hearted attempts of the security guards attempting to restore order to this solemn occasion. He was never seen again. Some say he is still running... with the banana held aloft and a triumphant grin on his face.
