Crowds gathered to watch the Olympic Flame pass through the borough for a second time this week.

The torch made it's way into Wandsworth from Lambeth, with TV star Joanna Lumley doing the honours in Clapham.

Hundreds of people gathered to watch the torch as it travelled into Battersea, while basking in temperatures of 30 degrees.

Many revellers chose to sit in pub beer gardens along the stretch of Queenstown Road, as well as by Chelsea Bridge to watch it cross the Thames.

Five torchbearers made their way through the borough with the flame, including paramedic Tracy Russell.

She was nominated to carry the flame by 7/7 survivor Gill Hicks who lost both her legs during the bombings and was treated by Mrs Russell.

Ms Hicks was originally going to carry it, but was unable to fly over from Australia because of her injuries and selected Mrs Russell to have her place.

She said: "It was just an amazing feeling to carry the torch for my good friend Gill and a really uplifting experience.

"I’ve just spoken to Gill in Australia and she was watching me do it live on a big screen. It’s been quite emotional for both of us.

"Loads and loads of people lined the street, and all my family were there as well, including my sister, husband and my three-year-old daughter."

Schoolboy Christopher Grandage, 12, also carried the flame through Battersea.

The sports-mad youngster helps with his father's street kids charity in Calcutta and helps bring young people together through sport.

After the torch made it's way through Cedars Road and Queenstown Road it crossed Chelsea Bridge to pass through Chelsea, spending an hour in the borough.

Jessica Clarke, 25, of Queenstown Road, took the day off work in order to watch it pass by her house.

She said: "I live just up the road and came to watch it with my old flatmates. It lived up to my expectations, it's the fourth time I have seen it."

Ed Lattimore, who watched the torch pass by his work, said: "There were lots of little kids. There was this young guy carrying it, he had a big smile on his face."

The torch will visit Wandsworth during the last day of the relay when it is carried down the Thames on the Gloriana, the royal barge which featured in the Jubilee Flotilla.

It will pass Putney Bridge at 10.40am and Battersea Bridge at 11.15am.
