Samba Presentation with Romero de Mangueira, Toque Tambor, Hej, JP, Tim and Shyamala to Celebrate Luton to host Olympic Torch during 2012 Relay
THE famous Olympic Flame will light up Luton next summer after the town was named as one of the destinations on a whistle-stop tour of the UK before next year's London games.
Amid a fanfare of drums and dancing, former Olympic Rowing Gold Medallist Tim Foster joined local dignitaries to announce that the London 2012 Organising Committee has chosen Luton as one of 66 evening celebration venues in a torch relay that covers 70 days and 8,000 miles of UK soil.
