Torchbearer runs through south west England


This photograph issued by LOCOG shows torchbearer Nicole Martin carrying the Olympic torch during the leg of the torch relay between the villages of Rosudgeon and Helston in south west England Saturday May 19, 2012. The torch will be carried all over the British Isles by 8,000 chosen volunteers, mostly local heroes. Its 8,000-mile (12,875-kilometer) journey will linger on the iconic sites _ Big Ben, Stonehenge, the white cliffs of Dover _ and speed past less appealing areas. It ends up July 27 at the Olympic Stadium in London. (AP Photo/ Yui Mok/LOCOG, HO)
