:00:55. > :01:00.Of hope we are welcoming the Yes, it is a very special evening
:01:00. > :01:02.here at New Road. In 20 minutes, the Olympic torch will hopefully be
:01:02. > :01:07.year. There are thousands here. If you have just been watching
:01:08. > :01:11.Midlands Today since 6:30pm, you will already have a sense of
:01:11. > :01:16.excitement on basics of the Olympic torch relay. And believe me, this
:01:16. > :01:22.is an exciting place to be. With me over the next hang up -- half hour
:01:22. > :01:25.is a familiar face to athletics fans across the region, Olympic
:01:25. > :01:29.medallist Katharine Merry. He picked up runs in Sydney in 2000.
:01:29. > :01:33.What do you make of this? Awesome, and the flame has not even arrived
:01:33. > :01:38.yet. The atmosphere is electric and I am already starting to get
:01:38. > :01:43.emotional. It is a wonderful occasion and the people have been
:01:43. > :01:47.coming in for hours to get a prime spot to see the Olympic flame.
:01:47. > :01:52.sold 10,000 tickets in advance for this. If all 10,000 are here, that
:01:52. > :01:56.is amazing. Did you see some of those pictures from the helicopter,
:01:56. > :02:03.looking down over Worcester city centre as the runners went through?
:02:03. > :02:05.Beautiful. All lining the streets. Imagine how it must feel for the
:02:05. > :02:10.people who have been picked to do this.
:02:10. > :02:15.It is an honour. I carried it myself before the Athens Games, and
:02:15. > :02:17.it was one of the highlights of my career. I was an athlete, but for
:02:17. > :02:21.deserving people not involved in sport, they will treasure it for
:02:21. > :02:28.the rest of their lives. And it is great to have music in the
:02:28. > :02:32.background to shout over by Labrinth, which has been good.
:02:32. > :02:36.am honest, we had it so many doubters about the games beforehand
:02:36. > :02:40.and I am sure we still have a few, but the way the torch has taken off
:02:40. > :02:44.since it landed on our shores, the crowds have been awesome. We have
:02:44. > :02:48.had the wonderful weather as well, which has helped, but everybody is
:02:48. > :02:52.getting into the spirit of the Olympics. We can go into the crowd
:02:52. > :02:56.now and find out what the atmosphere is like on the pitch. We
:02:56. > :02:59.joined them Godfry. For good evening. What an
:02:59. > :03:03.atmosphere here at New Road. Hundreds have been here since 4
:03:03. > :03:09.o'clock this afternoon and the party is getting started. Let's
:03:09. > :03:13.chat with some of the people here. How excited are you? Very excited.
:03:13. > :03:18.Where have you come from? We live in Worcestershire. What does it
:03:18. > :03:24.mean to have the torch come to this area? It is brilliant. Really
:03:24. > :03:29.enjoyed it. Let's go further down. How are you getting on? What does
:03:29. > :03:34.the family make of this? They are loving it. I am not sure they know
:03:34. > :03:38.what the Olympic torch means, but they are loving it. Well, the party
:03:38. > :03:43.has got started, but it does not get kick-started until we see the
:03:43. > :03:46.torch. It will be coming in about 20 minutes. There will be a big
:03:46. > :03:51.draw when they see it. Now it is time for some facts.
:03:51. > :03:55.Many of you will know that over 70 days, the Olympic torch will travel
:03:55. > :04:00.across the UK and be carried by 1000 people. But I doubt if many of
:04:00. > :04:04.you know this. Today is the first of seven trips that the torch will
:04:04. > :04:08.make on a steam train. We are certain it is the only time it will
:04:08. > :04:12.meet a herd of African elephants along the way. In winters spend a
:04:12. > :04:22.day on the Severn Valley Railway at Bewdley and met some new friends at
:04:22. > :04:25.
:04:25. > :04:31.the West Midlands Safari Park. I'm afraid we have had problems with
:04:31. > :04:34.that report. Hopefully, we can go back to it, because it is a very
:04:34. > :04:40.unusual film from the West Midlands Safari Park, with elephants
:04:40. > :04:47.charging up and waving in honour of the Queen. You have been assessing
:04:47. > :04:52.the feeling among the crowd. Yes, there are Great Britain T-shirts,
:04:52. > :04:57.tiaras and flags. It just shows that the public are really getting
:04:57. > :05:02.into the Olympic spirit. Everyone is just having a wonderful time
:05:02. > :05:07.this afternoon. They look forward to seeing the flame. As I said
:05:07. > :05:12.previously, it really has surprised me. And I think the momentum of the
:05:12. > :05:15.flame will continue as it goes on its journey. Those people have been
:05:15. > :05:21.here a long time, soaking up the sunshine and the entertainment, all
:05:21. > :05:27.to get a glimpse of the flame. music and excitement reminds me of
:05:27. > :05:31.coming to an Elton John concert here a few years ago. The flame
:05:31. > :05:37.itself is so symbolic. It is meant to have been stolen by Prometheus
:05:37. > :05:43.from Zeus, the King Of the Gods, and given to us mortals. Anyway,
:05:43. > :05:48.tonight sees a world premiere of songs to celebrate the county of
:05:48. > :05:54.Worcestershire. It is no ordinary quiet. We are talking 1000 people
:05:54. > :05:59.sitting in the stands. You can see them behind me. I was listening to
:05:59. > :06:02.them earlier. Pupils at the city's college for the blind and visually
:06:02. > :06:08.impaired helped provide the musical inspiration, and Ben will be
:06:08. > :06:17.chatting to some of the singers in a moment after this report.
:06:17. > :06:24.The singers arrived in their hundreds. The orchestra tuned up.
:06:24. > :06:32.The musical director called them to order. And Worcester's Olympic
:06:32. > :06:41.torch Community Choir sang their hearts out. I am Helen Bryant, head
:06:41. > :06:47.of PE at Regency high school. Colin, and I am a scientist. Jackie,
:06:47. > :06:54.and I am retired, but I do a bit of gardening. From children to
:06:54. > :06:59.pensioners, they come from all walks of life. Four days before the
:06:59. > :07:02.torch arrives, this was the first time they had rehearsed together.
:07:02. > :07:07.My job is to take a million pieces of Jigsaw and make them stick
:07:07. > :07:12.together. I hope it will work. organisers had feared they might
:07:12. > :07:15.not get enough volunteers for the choir, but within days of the
:07:15. > :07:22.announcement, a thousand people had come forward to take part in the
:07:22. > :07:26.Olympic torch event. It is a momentous occasion. It is once in a
:07:26. > :07:35.lifetime. Just the opportunity to be part of something that will only
:07:35. > :07:40.happen once in Worcester. Six new songs which celebrate
:07:40. > :07:44.Worcestershire were inspired by a famous local son, composer Edward
:07:44. > :07:47.Elgar. But it was the pupils at Worcester's New College for the
:07:47. > :07:55.blind and visually impaired children who helped bring them to
:07:55. > :08:01.life. They advised on the local ambient sounds for the song lyrics.
:08:01. > :08:08.To be able to attend such an event is something huge. It is an honour
:08:08. > :08:14.for me. It is something I will always remember. That pride will be
:08:14. > :08:24.felt by many here as the Olympic torch arrives at New Road.
:08:24. > :08:24.
:08:24. > :08:28.Give it up for the Olympic torch choir! They are only got the words
:08:28. > :08:33.about a week ago. Let's go and talk to the man whose responsibility it
:08:33. > :08:39.is to get all these singing in tune. Chris, artistic director. How
:08:39. > :08:43.artistic have you had to be? It has been an extraordinary challenge,
:08:43. > :08:49.but there is so much talent that it has not been that hard. We have all
:08:49. > :08:54.sorts of age groups. Tell us about the oldest and youngest?
:08:54. > :08:58.youngest are six. All sorts of primary-school have participated.
:08:58. > :09:04.And the older star in their eighties. Let's talk to some of
:09:04. > :09:09.them. Linda, you have been singing your heart out today. Raise The Sky
:09:09. > :09:16.was your big him. How did you find it? It is great. So many people
:09:16. > :09:22.came together. It is a huge choir from Worcester. I don't know how
:09:22. > :09:26.many we are. It was amazing to sing together. How much has it inspired
:09:26. > :09:31.you to take an interest in the Olympic games? Has there been a big
:09:31. > :09:40.difference? Definitely. I had not really thought about it before all
:09:40. > :09:46.these big events are started. you are one of the older choir
:09:46. > :09:52.members. How has it been? It has been really great for the staff and
:09:52. > :09:57.students of New College Worcester to be involved with this. The
:09:57. > :10:06.composers looked at how our students experience the world.
:10:06. > :10:10.can now go back to that wonderful Severn Valley Railway experience.
:10:10. > :10:14.Trotting along, tear to trunk, they could almost have been passing the
:10:14. > :10:18.baton in the Elephant relay at the big game Olympics. But this is not
:10:18. > :10:24.the African bush, it is the West Midlands Safari Park, where every
:10:24. > :10:28.morning for the past couple of weeks, these two have been marching
:10:28. > :10:33.up to the top of the hill to get up close and personal with a steam
:10:33. > :10:38.locomotive. Because this afternoon, they have a unique role to play in
:10:38. > :10:46.the journey of the Olympic torch. The elephants were found orphaned
:10:46. > :10:50.in a national park 20 years ago. It was 1992, the same year that Nelson
:10:50. > :10:56.Mandela attended the Games in Barcelona and the Olympic flame
:10:56. > :11:01.made a spectacular entrance into the arena. Today, the two elephants
:11:01. > :11:05.are flying the flag for London 2012. Apparently, an elephant's trunk
:11:05. > :11:08.contains up to 100,000 muscles, and each of those has been training
:11:08. > :11:18.hard for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But now the eyes of
:11:18. > :11:18.
:11:18. > :11:23.the world are watching and this is no time for an elephant to forget.
:11:23. > :11:26.It is 3:30pm, and the steam engine now standing at platform three is
:11:26. > :11:33.Erlestoke manner, the Worcestershire Express. Today, for
:11:33. > :11:38.one day only, the Olympic torch special. Calling at West Midlands
:11:38. > :11:43.Safari Park. And arriving at Kidderminster at 4:25pm. An
:11:43. > :11:47.afternoon off school does not get much better than this. A four mile
:11:47. > :11:52.trip on the Severn Valley Railway, sharing this unforgettable
:11:52. > :11:56.experience with the star of the show, the Olympic flame. On the
:11:56. > :11:59.footplate, Chris Stokes has the job of carrying the flame back to his
:11:59. > :12:07.home town of Kidderminster. It is protected by a special London to
:12:07. > :12:12.stop it blowing out in the breeze. -- a special lantern. Suddenly, it
:12:12. > :12:15.was full steam ahead, and the flame waved goodbye to Bewdley. Half a
:12:15. > :12:19.mile down the line, the elephants were waiting. They had trained so
:12:19. > :12:27.hard for this moment, but this time it was for real, and now they have
:12:27. > :12:31.to deliver. Success. They have done it. The wagons rolled and the torch
:12:31. > :12:37.trundled along in safe hands. Just one final hurdle to go before the
:12:37. > :12:40.finishing line. It is not only dark here, it is also very draughty, so
:12:40. > :12:44.fingers crossed that the Olympic flame will still be burning
:12:45. > :12:49.brightly on the other side of the tunnel. In no time, the adventure
:12:49. > :12:54.was almost over. The Worcestershire Express pulled into Kidderminster
:12:54. > :12:57.station, Chris delivered his precious cargo and a lasting legacy
:12:57. > :13:04.for 300 schoolchildren - great memories of an Olympic torch, an
:13:04. > :13:09.old steam train and two African elephants. We are over the other
:13:09. > :13:12.side of the ground now, by the stage. In a few moments, we will be
:13:12. > :13:16.live on stage for the pivotal moment of the evening, the lighting
:13:16. > :13:21.of the cauldron. We will also meet the woman who will be letting it.
:13:21. > :13:25.She is a charity campaigner from Bromsgrove, Sally flood. We will
:13:25. > :13:31.find out why she is so special to be given the honour of being the
:13:31. > :13:34.last runner on this special occasion. Sally, 10,000 people
:13:34. > :13:41.inside new round, thousands watching on telly. How much sleep
:13:41. > :13:48.did you get last night? Not too bad, actually. I did think, golly, I bet
:13:48. > :13:53.I will not slip, but it was not too bad. And great to be nominated. I
:13:53. > :13:58.hear you helped raise �150,000 for the NSPCC. Why is that so close to
:13:58. > :14:04.your heart? I have always been interested in the NSPCC. My mother
:14:04. > :14:08.was on the committee in Birmingham. As a child, we supported it. I used
:14:08. > :14:16.to put money into an egg box and I always enjoyed working with the
:14:16. > :14:23.NSPCC. It is good fun as well. is so special about your mum,
:14:23. > :14:28.Lucille, that made you nominate her as a torch-bearer? As a kid, she
:14:28. > :14:32.got me and my brothers and sister out on the street, shaking tins,
:14:32. > :14:37.and not giving up. She was so interested in it, and that got us
:14:37. > :14:42.out on the streets. You have five grandchildren and they will be
:14:42. > :14:50.watching you, very excited. Are you going to walk, dog or sprint?
:14:50. > :14:54.will definitely not run. I will jog. And hopefully not trip up. So this
:14:54. > :14:59.is what you will be wearing. Have you been wearing it around the
:14:59. > :15:07.house already? No. I would spill blackcurrant on it and I would be
:15:07. > :15:16.terrible. I have tried it on, but not won it. In your life, how
:15:16. > :15:26.important an occasion is this for you? It is really brilliant. How
:15:26. > :15:29.
:15:29. > :15:33.often do people hold the Olympic torch? Best of luck. Bless her. She
:15:33. > :15:38.has a few friends here. Sally will be running across the bridge
:15:38. > :15:42.towards the ground any moment now and coming in to light the flame. I
:15:42. > :15:49.think she is about five minutes late, but we are not sure of the
:15:49. > :15:55.exact timings. Have you got your tickets? I got mine this morning,
:15:55. > :15:59.three for Badminton. My friends are excited. They came by special
:15:59. > :16:04.recorded delivery. I was delighted to open them. I took a picture and
:16:04. > :16:09.put them on Twitter. Let's look back a few years to a very special
:16:10. > :16:19.night for you, a bit of nostalgia, from Sydney in 2000, the 400 metres.
:16:20. > :16:30.
:16:30. > :16:34.Let's remind ourselves of how this And the bronze goes to Britain. It
:16:34. > :16:43.is the most awesome thing I have ever done. I cannot believe the
:16:43. > :16:48.enormous mess of the Olympics. It was deafening. I want to get on
:16:48. > :16:58.that rostrums so badly. The bronze medal goes to Britain's Catherine
:16:58. > :17:00.
:17:00. > :17:07.Mary. Inside 50 seconds for the first time. The Birchfield Harrier,
:17:07. > :17:12.an international since she was 13, but now found the right event.
:17:12. > :17:18.a fantastic memory. What happened to the hair? I was training too
:17:18. > :17:25.hard to maintain and straighten my hair every day. I have grown it
:17:25. > :17:29.immensely, as you can see. It was very aerodynamic. That is a good
:17:29. > :17:35.excuse. Do you think you would have got the gold if you had one that
:17:35. > :17:40.had? No. I was not good enough on the night. Even now, it is
:17:40. > :17:47.emotional see you stepping onto that podium. It was for me, too.
:17:47. > :17:52.You saw on that VT, giving a little dog before stepping up. It was such
:17:52. > :17:56.a big race. I was delighted to be part of it. Where does the time go?
:17:56. > :18:01.You can understand why people here are so excited that it has come to
:18:01. > :18:05.their own country. No doubt. This is the closest people will get to
:18:05. > :18:12.the Olympic flame. They are within touching distance, and it is going
:18:12. > :18:16.to so many places across the UK. They are very loud behind us.
:18:17. > :18:22.are some of the pictures from the middle of Worcester of the Olympic
:18:22. > :18:32.torch getting ever closer. This was a few moments ago in the centre of
:18:32. > :18:33.
:18:33. > :18:37.Worcester. I am not sure whether we The last bit is coming over the
:18:37. > :18:42.River Severn. Some pictures from a helicopter, and they are getting
:18:42. > :18:47.very close. I think those are live pictures. Look at the crowd lining
:18:47. > :18:50.the streets. It is clearly not right by the cricket ground as yet.
:18:50. > :18:56.We need to wait a few moments more. We should talk to the people behind
:18:56. > :19:01.us and see what they feel. They look excited, Nick. Are you
:19:01. > :19:07.excited? Yes. What have you heard about the Olympics? How old are
:19:07. > :19:12.you? I am 12. Tell me what do you think about the Olympics. They are
:19:12. > :19:19.awesome. Are you going to watch as much as you can? Yes, I'm going to
:19:19. > :19:25.the full well. A you a bit of an athlete yourself? -- the football.
:19:25. > :19:31.No, he's not an athlete. Just before you were born, this lady
:19:31. > :19:36.here won a medal in Sydney. So there you are. Some Olympic history
:19:36. > :19:45.right by you. How good is that? Tell us what do you think to be
:19:45. > :19:49.here tonight. Don't be shy. It is fantastic for Worcester, the county,
:19:49. > :19:54.really good. Brilliant. A brilliant night. I've enjoyed every minute of
:19:54. > :19:57.it. It is fantastic for Worcester and the county. And for
:19:57. > :20:01.Herefordshire, Shropshire, the other counties involved. And
:20:01. > :20:05.tomorrow it is going off towards Wales and we will hear more about
:20:05. > :20:13.that later. Let's get back to another part of the crowd and speak
:20:13. > :20:17.to bend. -- to bend. Let's talk to some more people because the torch
:20:17. > :20:26.is not far away now. Why is it so important that your idea at the
:20:26. > :20:29.front of the stage? It is a once- in-a-lifetime chance to bring my
:20:29. > :20:36.children to see the Olympic torch. We have waited all afternoon and we
:20:36. > :20:40.cannot wait. Use a -- I see you have your own Olympic had. Let's
:20:40. > :20:50.have a chat with some guys down here. Why is it so important to be
:20:50. > :20:56.here today? We are celebrating Worcester. I think that says it all,
:20:56. > :21:00.really. These guys here have been here for two or three hours in the
:21:00. > :21:10.sunshine. 27 degrees it has been here. Lots of drinks have been

:22:57. > :23:02.the hundreds of millions around the world, so don't panic. Had you feel
:23:02. > :23:06.going into the Games? You are top of the tree, so that is a pressure
:23:06. > :23:10.in itself. I am really looking forward to it. Our home games will
:23:10. > :23:14.be incredible and an experience and will be millions of photographs

:23:20. > :23:24.very best. Thanks for coming to talk to us. Right, I'm not sure
:23:24. > :23:28.where we are going to. We will have a look at the helicopter shots. We
:23:28. > :23:33.can see and hear the helicopter which implies it is pretty close to
:23:33. > :23:38.the cricket ground. There is another one. Oh well. Catherine
:23:38. > :23:42.points at one, I point to another, but the implication is that it it
:23:42. > :23:45.is coming to the final stages of the Olympic torch journey,
:23:45. > :23:50.finishing at the cricket ground at Worcester. It is very special for
:23:50. > :23:54.me, this ground. I have seen some great cricket here over the year.
:23:54. > :23:57.My father cycled here from Shrewsbury and sort Donald
:23:57. > :24:01.Bradman's score a century before lunch and this was before the war,
:24:01. > :24:05.so this ground has seen some special events in terms of sport,
:24:05. > :24:10.cricket, but never anything associated with the Olympics. Can
:24:10. > :24:16.you believe that? I think out of the corner of my eye we might get a
:24:16. > :24:20.chance to chat to some more people later and I know we hopefully have
:24:20. > :24:24.Mickaella Johnson who is carrying the torch tomorrow. There are so
:24:24. > :24:29.many people with a story to tell and hopefully we will get a chance
:24:29. > :24:35.to speak to them in a moment. In fact, I think it could be Mikaela
:24:35. > :24:40.now. Good to see you. And well done for getting here. I tell you what,
:24:40. > :24:47.I will come round the other side which might be easier. Excuse me.
:24:47. > :24:50.There we are. Now, you have had an incredible life story in the last
:24:50. > :24:57.three years because you had an awful accident, a road accident.
:24:57. > :25:01.And you're in a coma for how long? I think it was about 10 days.
:25:01. > :25:07.they did not think he would wake up from it all walk again or talk
:25:07. > :25:11.again? They didn't think I would be able to eat, drink, walk, talk, do
:25:11. > :25:14.the actions of the average person. But thankfully I have overcome it
:25:14. > :25:19.and I'm fortunate to be in the position I'm in now. That must have
:25:19. > :25:23.taken some will power. Yes, some big heart, through thick and thin.
:25:23. > :25:29.The reason this happened was because of a road accident, was in
:25:29. > :25:35.near your school? Yes, just down the road from my school. This was
:25:35. > :25:41.in Worcester, along at London Road. Since then you have campaigned hard
:25:41. > :25:47.to improve road safety. What have you done? So far I have done
:25:47. > :25:52.campaign for a proper crossing to be put on London Road in the four
:25:52. > :25:56.way system. I'm going to campaign for something else, but I'm trying
:25:56. > :26:01.to figure that out. The point is that now you have been asked to
:26:01. > :26:11.carry the Olympic torch. That is tomorrow, is it? I am carrying the
:26:11. > :26:19.torch tomorrow. I think I am carrying it about half way. That
:26:19. > :26:28.will be a bat from 8:30am. It is quite difficult to talk and
:26:28. > :26:33.concentrate and here. How will you be able to manage? I'll just be
:26:33. > :26:37.hobbling along. Even walking has been a problem. Yes, Bioblitz
:26:37. > :26:41.morale will have a good day. -- hopefully tomorrow I will have a
:26:41. > :26:46.good day. Some days I am in a wheelchair, some days I am on my
:26:46. > :26:51.feet. Sometimes the bottom half of my legs just don't work so I go
:26:51. > :26:55.into a wheelchair. What has this been like for your parents? It has
:26:55. > :26:59.been hard, and I can understand that, but sometimes I tell them to
:26:59. > :27:05.relax because I can do it. But you can understand from their point of
:27:05. > :27:09.view they think I always need help. Sometimes I can get the help, but
:27:09. > :27:14.I'll still do it on my own. have taken up athletics. You have
:27:14. > :27:20.dreams of being a power Olympian, so you could like a torch and light
:27:20. > :27:24.in the future. I could be in the Paralympics in 2016. I already have
:27:24. > :27:30.the national gold in javelin. And national silver in the shot put.
:27:30. > :27:38.Just a bronze in the discus. That is awesome. So you have a genuine
:27:38. > :27:43.desire and you think you can do it by 2016? Hopefully before then.
:27:43. > :27:48.technically, D Dooley left or right-handed? Right-handed -- how
:27:48. > :27:53.do you do it, left or right-handed? So you can do it without a stick
:27:53. > :27:59.for a while. How will you sleep tonight with anticipation? I won't
:28:00. > :28:01.sleep. I'll just be putting make-up on so I can look good. It is a real
:28:01. > :28:05.privilege to May-June and congratulations for your incredible
:28:05. > :28:09.strength to get through to this stage -- a privilege to meet you.
:28:09. > :28:15.And say hello to your folks, because they must be very proud of
:28:15. > :28:20.you. Lots of luck tomorrow. Fantastic. There is still no news
:28:20. > :28:24.of the torch come in. But it must be very close. It is a well-known
:28:24. > :28:30.law, but I can't remember who's! Let me tell you about where the
:28:30. > :28:33.torch is going tomorrow. It will leave Worcester, then heads on to
:28:33. > :28:37.Malvern, then Ross-on-Wye before entering Wales for the first time.
:28:38. > :28:43.And we will have a full report on Midlands Today tomorrow night at
:28:43. > :28:47.6:30pm. Now we are approaching the end of the programme, and
:28:47. > :28:52.frustratingly, we have not seen the cauldron been lit. Can we cope? But
:28:52. > :28:56.thank you for being a Catherine and Micaela. This program can be seen
:28:56. > :29:01.again on the iPlayer later this evening and there will be plenty
:29:01. > :29:04.more on Midlands Today tomorrow and on BBC Hereford and Worcester. But
