The Olympic Torch Relay will help shine a light on the whole of the UK – and is being carried through more than 1,000 cities, towns and villages in the UK.

The Flame comes through South Bucks on day 53 of its 63-day journey as it travels from Oxford to Reading. It makes it first appearance on Tuesday 10th July 2012 at approximately 11.39 for a ticket only event at Dorney Lake (Eton Dorney Lake).
