It arrived in the capital in a dramatic fashion last night - carried by Royal Marine Commando Martyn Williams, who abseiled 180ft from a Sea King helicopter onto the Tower of London, where it was kept overnight locked in the vaults with the Olympic medals. Over the next seven days, the relay will take in some of the capital's best-known landmarks, including the London Eye, Downing Street and the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, home of the Wimbledon Championships, before it is carried down the Thames on Gloriana, The Queen's Rowbarge. Pop star Dizzee Rascal and footballer Fabrice Muamba, who suffered a cardiac arrest during an FA Cup match in March, will also carry the flame today. The Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: "The arrival of the Olympic Flame is a huge moment for the capital and an incredible opportunity for Londoners to experience, right on their doorsteps, the growing excitement as the countdown to the start of the 2012 Olympic Games moves ever nearer." These were some of the scenes along the route of the torch today: Before setting off Miss Sinha held the torch aloft for photographers outside the Royal Observatory. Woolwich Jaco Van Gass, a soldier with the First Parachute Regiment, carried the flame through Woolwich, in south east London, today. The 25-year-old was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade while serving in Afghanistan, resulting in the loss of his left arm, a collapsed lung, punctured internal organs, loss of muscle and tissue from the upper left thigh, multiple shrapnel wounds and a fractured knee, fibula and tibia. In 2011, Mr Van Gass was one of four injured servicemen in the Walking With The Wounded team who set a world record by walking to the North Pole. The Dome One of the most dramatic moments of the torch relay came at 10.02 when Nadia Comaneci, the winner of five Olympic gold medals and the first gymnast to score a perfect 10, met former-basketball star John Amaechi on the roof of the North Greenwich Arena to exchange the flame. The arena, more widely known as The Dome, is the venue for the London 2012 gymnastics events and basketball finals. Wearing safety harnesses the pair gingerly made their way across the roof of the Dome, meeting in the middle to exchange the flame, before descending. Amaechi then boarded the Woolwhich ferry to transport the flame across the River Thames. Newham Tessa Sanderson-White, who won gold at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles and is the only British woman to have done so in an Olympic throwing event, will be among those carrying the flame in Newham.
