Olympic Torch reaches new heights
The Olympic Torch has reached new heights in the hands of a schoolgirl from Bath.
17 year old Amelia Hempleman-Adams, who became the youngest person to ski to the South Pole, held the flame on top of a capsule at the top of the London Eye.
The young explorer carried out her record-breaking expedition with her father, David Hempleman-Adams, last December.
She described holding the torch above the capital as a "once in a lifetime opportunity".
– Amelia Hempleman-AdamsIt was amazing to look out and see the whole of London... The height was quite scary but you know you're safe so it's not too bad. It was a once in a lifetime experience, especially as the Olympics are in London. It makes it more special.
