THE Olympics will be coming to London in June or at least the Olympic torch will be.

London will stage the 23rd leg of the international Olympic Torch Relay on June 26.

Visit www.london.gov.uk/ torchrelay and you can find out all about the event, as well as how to become one of the 120 torchbearers.

Even if you are not one of the lucky few to carry the torch you can still watch the event.

The Olympic Games will be held in Athens in August.

Perhaps if London puts on a good show to welcome the Athens torch it will reflect well on the city's bid for the 2012 Olympics.
