LONDON, U.K., August 29, 2012 (The Telegraph): The Paralympic Flame has arrived in London ahead of Wednesday’s opening ceremony. After an overnight relay from Stoke Mandeville in Buckinghamshire — the spiritual home of the Paralympic Games — the flame reached the Shree Swaminarayan Hindu temple in Willesden, Brent, amid cheers and traditional prayers. Hundreds of people waved Union flags and drums played uplifting rhythms in the morning sunshine as Antony Eames, 32, from Wokingham, held out a torch on a red carpet at the top of the temple’s staircase. From there it set off on its journey through six host boroughs in the capital on its way to the Olympic Stadium.
