British Support at the Grand Depart of 2007's Tour De France cheering on David Millar and Bradley Wiggins

---

Thousands of cycling fans gathered in Trafalgar Square and the surrounding area for the opening ceremony of the 2007 Tour de France on Friday 6th July 2007. The event saw all the teams and 189 riders presented to the crowd, estimated to have been around 25,000, ahead of the Grand Depart. The riders also paraded from Trafalgar Square down Whitehall and back. London hosted Saturday 7th July's prologue before the first stage on the Sunday which travelled through the capital and Kent. This was the first time the Tour has started in England, but the third time it has passed through the country in its 104-year history.
