A total of 8,000 torchbearers will bring the Olympic fire through different modes of transport during this period, where it will finally rest on the Olympic Stadium in London where four spectacular Opening and Closing Ceremonies will be held.
Preliminaries on what to expect during the opening ceremonies has already been reported by various media, one of them: London Olympics Opening Ceremony Program.
