Flags: The British and Greek flags are carried into the Panathenaic stadium during the Olympic Flame handover.
The Greek leg of the 2012 torch relay ends at the Panathenaic Stadium, Athens, on Thursday 17 May, where the flame is handed over to London Olympic Games organisers. The stadium hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. The last torchbearers in Greece will be Greek weightlifter Pyrros Dimas and Chinese gymnast Li Ning - who lit the cauldron at the Beijing 2008 opening ceremony.
The Olympic flame has been handed over to organisers of the London Games at a ceremony in Athens.
The President of the Hellenic Olympic Committee, Spyros Capralos, passed the flame to Princess Anne, president of the British Olympic Association in the Panathenaic Stadium.
