Future Flames are the inspiring young people who have carried the Olympic Flame as the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay continues its route around the UK.
The idea is to celebrate all the inspirational torchbearers who were given the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of carrying the Olympic Flame and to reward the contribution that they make to their communities and those around them.
