Will Queen Elizabeth II light the torch? Can the queen even carry the torch? Will Prince Charles, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge? Maybe a British Olympic hero like Sir Steve Redgrave will light the torch. Tune in tonight to watch the opening ceremony in London as the 2012 Olympic Games begin!

TELEGRAPH.CO.UK reports:
Sir Steve Redgrave? Muhammad Ali? Sooty, Sweep and Sue? There has been one big question on everybody's lips for the past few weeks and the time is nearly upon us for an answer. Who is going to light the Olympic flame at Olympic Park?

sue everybodys lips weeks answer light olympic flame olympic park

It was young athletes, the 'next generation' (tagline for this olympics being 'inspire a generation'). they were each nominated by a great British Olympian and the flame was passed from Sir Steve Redgrave to them. A fantastic idea and truly in the spirit of things if you ask me

It was never going to be a royal or official, if it didn't go down the way it did, it would have been a great sportsman (like Radcliff).

VERY proud that the UK decided that it should be sportsman of the future. Loved that -almost cried!

Olympic Hero

The apt choice would be....Sir "4 minute mile" Roger Bannister, both Olympic hero AND British icon in one!

Hopefully, an Olympic hero like Roger Bannister or even a Olympic handicapped hero.

Seemed most appropriate as far as I'm concerned.

It's got to be Steve Redgrave, come on...I mean, he's the ONLY Brit ever to win Gold at FIVE successive Olympic Games. It's a major achievement and they should have an Olympian do it.

Let the Games Begin!!!

That would be most appropriate: someone who had won his share of medals.
