London Launched the Paralympic Torch Relay last Friday.

A ceremonial cauldron was lit by former eventing athlete Claire Lomas in London's Trafalgar Square to launch the Paralympic torch relay on Friday. Lomas, who was paralysed in a horse riding accident, lit the cauldron from the English national flame kindled on Scafell Pike.

David Cameron joined me and London 2012 chairman Seb Coe at the ceremony.

Loadsadosh to be made on this I can tell you!

The relay travels from Stoke Mandeville to London overnight on Tuesday for the Games opening ceremony on Wednesday.
