London 2012 Olympic Torch will visit Birmingham
Birmingham has been confirmed as one of the host destinations for the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay next summer. Liberal Democrat Councillor Martin Mullaney, Birmingham City Council's Cabinet Member for Leisure, Sport and Culture, said "The Torch Relay is the curtain raiser to what we know will be a huge and spectacular sporting event, so I'm proud that Birmingham has been selected as an overnight stay for the Olympic flame."
