One of the most recognisable symbols of the Olympic Games, the London 2012 Torch was unveiled at St Pancras International in a glittering ceremony featuring LOCOG chairman Lord Coe, Denise Lewis, Jonathan Edwards amidst huge media attention from London, the UK and around the world.

At the unveiling ceremony, an HS1 spokesperson said: "This is an extremely proud moment for all of us at High Speed 1. At St Pancras International, we already have the first London 2012 Shop and, of course, the famous Rings hanging magnificently in the station. Now we look forward to making sure the thousands of people using our HS1 stations St Pancras International, Stratford International and Ebbsfleet International have the very best experience while travelling to the Games in 2012."

The 2012 Olympic Torch is one of the most recognised symbols of the Games. Its design celebrates the vibrancy, strength and innovation of the Olympic movement while also symbolising British design, engineering and manufacturing.
