Saturday 21 July – Cutty Sark, Greenwich

Little Ship Club President Sir Robin Knox-Johnson carried the torch for a lap around the restored Cutty Sark ship on Saturday 21 July as part of the London welcome for the Olympic Flame. The Cutty Sark is the last surviving tea clipper and the fastest and greatest of her time. Sir Robin has been a Cutty Sark Trustee since 2011.

It appears that the torch duly arrived at its final destination!
