1 ‘A hugely important day
for Cornwall’ As Cornwall prepares to celebrate the historic arrival of the Olympic Flame at RNAS Culdrose on the evening of 18 May with up to a billion people from across the world expected to watch as it leaves Land’s End the following morning on the start of its 8,000 mile journey around the UK.
Details of the route the Flame will take through Cornwall and the names of the inspirational Torchbearers who have been chosen to carry it have been announced.
There is already growing excitement across Cornwall about this once in a lifetime event, with the 21 communities along the route hard at work developing their plans.
The announcement by LOCOG of the streets along which the Olympic Flame will be carried in Cornwall and details of the Torchbearers has added to this sense of excitement.

‘This is a hugely important day for Cornwall as we will be in the spotlight for both the arrival of the Olympic Flame and the first day of the Olympic Torch Relay,’ said Chris Ridgers, Cornwall Council’s portfolio holder for economy and regeneration.
‘The Olympic and Paralympic Games is the biggest event in the world and we want as many people as possible to get involved by taking part in local events and lining the streets to cheer the Olympic Flame on its journey through Cornwall.
‘The announcement of the individual streets and roads the Torchbearers will be running
through really brings the whole route to life and means that people can now make their plans on where to go to see the Flame and witness the amazing spectacle of the Olympic Torch Relay’.
