OFFICIALS have picked who will welcome the Olympic torch: Britain's Royal Navy.
A search and rescue squadron will welcome the flame as it arrives May 18 from Athens, organizers said yesterday. The flame will stay a night at a Royal Navy air base in Culdrose, Cornwall, before it is flown to Land's End in a search and rescue helicopter. From there, the torch will journey across the UK in a relay involving 8,000 torchbearers travelling 12,875 kilometers. The torch is scheduled to reach the Olympic Stadium in London on the eve of July 27.
