The lighting ceremony? Did you see any of that hokum? Good grief, it's like we were back in Festival of Britain times, with a pompous pageant, and Greek maidens dressed in bedsheets. Of course, this ancient ceremony dates all the way back to...oooh...a couple of months ago, when someone came up with it while sitting on the bog, and scribbled some notes on a spare scrap of newspaper.
Maidens? Maidens? Wish on, dear fellow.
IIRC that ancient ceremony is as old as the torch relay itself, dating back to the dim & distant 20th century: 1936, to be precise. It has probably changed over the years, as the relay (which originally did consist of a chain of runners all the way from Olympia to Berlin) has.
