Olympic torch rides the Tube
The Olympic torch took a successful ride on the London Underground today, travelling on a train emblazoned with the Olympic rings.
Service Operator John Light, 64, was given the honour of carrying the flame a stop down the District Line, from Wimbledon to Wimbledon Park.
Earlier, double Olympic gold medalist James Cracknell carried the torch.
The rower and adventurer, 40, began today's relay in Kingston with the flame eventually bound for Ealing.
