Olympic Torch in Taplow
The Olympic Torch Relay came to Taplow on 10th July 2012.
The flame was carried by Dominic John, who lives in Bourne End.
Having crossed Maidenhead Bridge the flame quickly disappeared into a vehicle and sped off to Eton Dorney Rowing Lake.
On the same day, Phillip Wells - the first child to be baptised at St
Nicolas' Church in the 21st Century - became the first
and only Taplovian to carry the Olympic torch, taking the flame from
Maidenhead netball coach Gina Macgregor MBE on the southern terrace of Windsor
Castle and carrying it to the Long Walk gates where he passed it to Ian
Rostance of Leeds.
