On Wednesday, the London 2012 organisers announced the details of the Olympic torch relay, which is aimed at boosting support for the Olympic and Paralympic Games between May and the opening ceremony.

The route the torch will be taking was revealed and the names of most of the torchbearers - many of whom play a key role in local communities and give up their time for free to help others - were released.

Amongst the lucky few expected to carry the torch are James Lusted from Colwyn Bay, who was born with diastrophic dysplasia and nominated by a friend after they met at the Beijing Paralympics and stuntman Eddie Kidd of Peacehaven, East Sussex, who has severely restricted co-ordination and speech due to a head injury.
