  • Beijing Torch Relay - my day in pictures

    Neil, Community team, 7 Apr 2008

     

     

    Yesterday I joined LOCOG colleagues as a volunteer for the Beijing Torch Relay. This was my day in pictures... A snowy start to the day - passing Ealing Common:

    Wembley Stadium - where the Relay began:

    Sir Steve Redgrave carries the Torch out of the Stadium:

    Carnival performers greeted the Torch in Ladbroke Grove:

    There were also performers at the South Bank (with the London Eye in the background):

    Spotted - colleagues in their volunteers uniforms watch the Torch's progress at the South Bank:

    Finally Dame Kelly Holmes takes the Torch to bring it to light the cauldron:

    After the finale, the Olympic Flame leaves London from Heathrow. Here it gets ready to be taken through security:
