Paralympic Games Torch Relay Arrives In London

The Paralympic flame has reached outer London as part of a 24-hour torch relay to herald the start of the 2012 Games.

Four national flames, kindled last week, were united in a cauldron at a ceremony in Stoke Mandeville - the spiritual home of the Paralympics.

A flame lit from that cauldron is being carried 92 miles from Buckinghamshire to London's Olympic Stadium.

When it arrives at the Olympic Park in Stratford, east London, it will be used to light the cauldron during the opening ceremony of the Games.

The Queen and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are among those attending Wednesday's opening ceremony.

The event, called Enlightenment and created by Bradley Hemmings and Jenny Sealey, will showcase the skills of disabled artists with a cast of 3,000 adult volunteers including injured soldiers and past Paralympic athletes.
