Royal Wootton Bassett Played host to the Olympic Torch Relay today.
A different kind of parade hit the streets, centering on 15 year old torch bearer Ben Fox,
bravery comes in many forms........worth a watch
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18171667  That young man is very inspirational.
Here is some info on the torch itself:
The Torch stands 800mm high, and has a gold colour finish
that embraces the qualities of the Olympic Flame.
The Torch celebrates the best of British design, engineering and manufacturing talent and
reflects the celebratory nature of the Olympic Torch Relay and the Olympic Games.
It has been designed by internationally-acclaimed designers Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby,
in partnership with Basildon-based product engineers Tecosim and Coventry-based
manufacturers The Premier Group.
At 800mm high and weighing just 800g, the Torch is one of the most lightweight
in the history of the Olympic Movement. Its gold-coloured form is perforated
by 8,000 small cut-out circles, representing the 8,000 Torchbearers
and their stories of personal achievement.
The circles, which run the length of the Torch, will also offer a unique level of transparency –
allowing people to see right into its heart – and help keep the Torch cool.
