At the moment it is travelling along the Thames on the Royal barge Gloriana but no-one is revealing who will be the bearer of the flame when it lights the final flame which will burn in the Olympic Stadium in London for the duration of the 2012 games.

I have heard some names bandied about eg Roger Bannister and David Beckham but the identity is being kept pretty well under wraps.

I've found out that in the last London games it was a young medical student called John Marks - I wonder if he's still alive and might be the big surprise?

Anyone have any other ideas?
