The Olympic flame has arrived in Cornwall ahead of this summer's London Games.

A delegation including Princess Anne, Boris Johnson and David Beckham touched down at RNAS Culdrose with the torch on Friday evening before Beckham lit the waiting cauldron.

The flame, which has been tested in a number of testing conditions, was officially lit in Athens earlier this month.

A 70-day relay across Britain with the torch will begin on Saturday before the start of the Games on Sunday, July 29.
