About the Flame

The Olympic Torch is lit in Olympia, Greece by using a mirror and the reflection of the sun, once it is lit it will travel briefly around Greece before making its journey to the United Kingdom for a 70 day tour of the UK. On 27 July the Torch will reach the Olympic Stadium before lighting the cauldron which will signify the start of the London 2012 Games.
