London's Olympic Torch unveiled

Is it a cheese grater?Denise Lewis (pictured) joined Lord Coe for the launch of the torch that will carry the Olympic Flame the length of the British Isles. The curved aluminium tube has a lace-like mesh complete with 8,000 holes - one to represent each torchbearer - while its triangular shape symbolises the three times that London has staged the Games - 1908, 1948 and 2012.
