Olympic torchbearers will have to pay if they want the ultimate souvenir of the relay: their own torch.
From 20 March until 1 May, it will cost bearers £199 to buy a torch from Games organisers Locog, and during the relay the cost rises to £215.
Some torchbearers have told the BBC they thought the price for a torch was "an awful lot of money".
But Locog defended the cost, saying a torch costs £495 to make, and it was subsidising the price.
