The Olympic flame has passed some of the London's most famous landmarks on the eve of the Games.

A host of celebrities paraded the torch past celebrated London locations including St Paul's Cathedral, Millennium Bridge and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, before its 70-day, 8,000-mile journey comes to a close.

Elsewhere in the capital, sightseers and Olympics fans caught a glimpse of the torch as it was carried 32.7 miles through the London boroughs of Camden, Islington, City of London, Southwark, Lambeth, Wandsworth, Hammersmith and Fulham and Kensington and Chelsea.

Stars including rugby heroes Lawrence Dallaglio and Lewis Moody, the actress Joanna Lumley, David Walliams and Clive Woodward, carried the flame.

It is later due to make its way down Oxford Street on a bus accompanied by the Lord Mayor of Westminster, Angela Harvey before passing Downing Street, Westminster and Buckingham Palace.

The torch will end its day's travels in Hyde Park at 7.10pm where a celebration cauldron will be lit and a concert held with performers including Dizzee Rascal, The Wanted, Mark Ronson and Katy B, Eliza Doolittle and Wretch 32.
