TOWN Mayor Liz Bennett accepted an Olympic Torch made by local school children as part an Olympic Legacy project to get youngsters involved in sports.

Pupils designed torches which were then taken in relay from school to school across the town and surrounding areas, to encourage them to get involved in a physical activity.

In this photo, pupils from Estcots and Blackwell primary schools hand over their torches at East Court.
