Olympic torch: Allan Wells carries flame in Border

26 June 2012

Surrey Sports Park Ambassador Allan Wells carried the Olympic flame as it made its way towards the English border. Wells, who won gold in the 100m at the 1980 Moscow Olympics, carried the torch in Selkirk.


Day 27 of the relay started in Edinburgh as the flame set out for its 140-mile trip through the Borders into England north of Berwick-upon-Tweed.


The Olympic flame will be coming through Guildford on Friday 20 July. Surrey's Professor Lisa Roberts and students, Becky Robinson and Sophia Neofytou will each carry the Olympic Flame through town as it travels on its 70 day journey before the start of the London 2012 Olympic Games on 27 July.
