Olympic Torch Relay - Richmond
July 24th 2012
8,000 inspirational people from around the UK will carry the Olympic Flame as it journeys across the UK. Nominated by someone they know, it will be their moment to shine, inspiring millions of people watching in their community, in the UK and worldwide.
The Olympic Flame will come within 10 miles of 95% of people in the UK, Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey. It will enable local communities to shine a light on the best their area has to offer - including celebrations of local culture, breathtaking landscapes and dynamic urban areas.
The 24th July sees the Olympic Flame arrive in Richmond, as part of the 1,018 communities through which the flame will be carried by Torchbearers during the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay.
