Day 47: Olympic Flame visits Sandringham House on its journey to Norwich

The Olympic Flame will be carried 127.30 miles by 124 Torchbearers on Day 47, including Olympians Goldie Sayers and Kate Walsh.

On Wednesday 4 July, the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay travels from Peterborough to Norwich.

The Flame will be carried through the Norwich Gates into Sandringham House, the country retreat of Her Majesty The Queen and the private home of four generations of British monarchs since 1862.

Christina Walker, 40, from Norwich will carry the Flame onto Cromer Pier. Christina was selected for her work as a teaching assistant and her quest to run four marathons in four days.

Shannon Williams-Holland, 15, will carry the Flame in Spalding. Shannon is a young carer who volunteers and fundraises for 'Action for Young Carers' and her dream is to run a charity in the future.

Goldie Sayers, one of Britain’s leading field athletes, and Kate Walsh, captain of the Great Britain and England hockey team, will also be amongst the inspirational people carrying the Flame.
 
The Flame will be carried through the following 18 communities: Peterborough, Market Deeping, Thurlby, Bourne, Spalding, Moulton, Whaplode, Holbeach, Long Sutton, King’s Lynn, South Wootton, West Rudham, East Rudham, Fakenham, Holt, Cromer, Aylsham, Norwich.

The evening celebration will be held at Chapelfield Gardens and feature entertainment from Morning Parade, a dance troupe and local acts staged by Norwich City Council.
