The Olympic flame has taken the Tube as it continues its week-long journey through the capital. A total of 144 torchbearers, including rower James Cracknell and skier Chemmy Alcott, carried the flame 43 miles across London.
Actor James McAvoy was among a long line of people who carried the Olympic flame as it reached the first leg of the tour of Scotland today (June 8).
The torch was passed to the actor in Glasgow in front of crowds who watched him ran down Buchanan Street in the city centre.
He told ITV News: "The fact that they do something like this and they visit every town and they visit all the different places and everybody can get involved and really feel like its personal to them, I think makes it really special so I'm really honoured to be involved."
In a star-studded day for the Olympic Torch, the flame was carried by the captain of the Starship Enterprise and sport personalities alike.
The cast and crew of EastEnders are carrying out the final touches for tonight's Olympic Torch episode.
