Olympics: Lighting the cauldron
In the lead up to the Opening Ceremony, the Olympic flame travelled across the United Kingdom and was passed through the hands of athletes and well-known faces to finally arrive at the Olympic Stadium. A team of young British athletes had the honour of lighting the cauldron, kicking off the start to the 2012 London Olympic Games.
