Paralympic Flame Begins Historic Journey from London to Paris

The flame, symbolizing the spirit of the Games, will travel through the Channel Tunnel and across France before the opening ceremony.

The flame was lit in Stoke Mandeville, the birthplace of the Paralympic Games, by British Paralympians Helene Raynsford and Gregor Ewan.
It will cross the Channel Tunnel, handed over from British to French athletes midway, and travel across France in a four-day relay.
The relay will involve 1,000 torchbearers, including former Paralympians, young athletes, and volunteers, visiting 50 cities.
The journey highlights para sport infrastructure and innovation, with stops at significant locations for para sports and famous Paralympians.
The cauldron, the first to light up without fossil fuels, will be lit during the opening ceremony in Paris and fly above the city each evening.
