Greece prepares to hand flame to London

ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece formally hands over the Olympic flame to a London delegation led by Princess Anne and including David Beckham on Thursday at the Panathenaic stadium where the first modern Games were held in 1896.

Seb Coe, chairman of the London organising committee LOCOG, spoke of a 'massive, massive moment' as the clock ticks down to the Games opening on July 27 while London Mayor Boris Johnson was typically ebullient.
