    During the visit of the Olympic flame to the UK how many people carried the flame and who was the oldest?

    Question #49579. Asked by mochyn. (Jul 19 04 10:07 AM)

    		140 people carried the flame. I'm not sure about the oldest - but looking at the list I think it might have been Sir Roger Bannister. I will check further.

    Oops! If I had looked at a different page I would have spotted that the oldest was in fact 94 - marathon runner Fauja Singh.
