Sunderland "will embrace" Olympic torch visit

The Olympic Flame is coming Sunderland - how many times will that

happen?

It really is a once in a lifetime event and I know that the

people of Sunderland will embrace the opportunity to see the Olympic

Flame and witness the spectacle of the Olympic Torch Relay.

The spotlight will be on Sunderland and the world will get a glimpse of

some of the city's finest landmarks, including our fabulous coastline,

the Sunderland Aquatic Centre and Penshaw Monument.
