I've been to three olympic games, I won a medal in Athens in diving. So what a fantastic honour to kind of, to be part of the torch relay, one of eighty, runner number seventy-one.\"\u003cbr/\u003e16. Taylor posing with children\u003cbr/\u003eThirty five protesters were arrested in London on Sunday for attempting to disrupt the Olympic torch relay as it made its way through the UK capital.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Metropolitan Police said earlier it was aware of six organisations - including the Free Tibet campaign, the spiritual group Falun Gong and a group calling for democracy in Myanmar - protesting on Sunday.\u003cbr/\u003eDemonstrators tried to board a relay bus after five-time Olympic gold medallist rower Steve Redgrave launched the procession at Wembley\u003cbr/\u003eStadium - presaging a number of clashes with police along the torch's 31-mile (50-kilometre) journey.\u003cbr/\u003eIn west London, a protester tried to grab the torch out of the hands of a TV presenter, forcing police to briefly stop the procession as officers detained the man. \u003cbr/\u003eAnother demonstrator tried to snuff out the flame with what appeared to be a fire extinguisher.\u003cbr/\u003eOthers in the crowd threw themselves at torchbearers running past in official Beijing 2010 Olympics tracksuits, surrounded by a phalanx of security officials jogging alongside them to protect them - and the torch - from protesters.\u003cbr/\u003eThe protests forced officials to make unscheduled changes to the relay route, according to the Metropolitan Police.\u003cbr/\u003eBritish Prime Minister Gordon Brown briefly greeted the torch when it arrived outside his Downing Street residence as pro-Tibet demonstrators and police clashed yards away near Britain's Parliament buildings.\u003cbr/\u003eBrown himself never handled the torch but watched as Olympic gold medallist Denise Lewis handed it to Paralympic hopeful Ali Jawad. \u003cbr/\u003eStudent Scott Earley Jr., from Glasgow, Scotland, then took the torch from Downing Street, needing help from dozens of police to keep baying mobs from snatching it from him as he ran past Big Ben to Westminster Bridge.\u003cbr/\u003eDemonstrators swelled in number near the spot where Chinese Ambassador Fu Ying had been expected to carry the Olympic torch.\u003cbr/\u003eInstead, Fu emerged with the torch in the heart of London's Chinatown, managing to jog unhindered before handing it over to the next participant.\u003cbr/\u003eAlong the route, hundreds of protesters chanted \"Free Tibet!\" \"Stop killing in Tibet!\" and \"China, talk to Dalai Lama!\"\u003cbr/\u003eIn London's historic Bloomsbury area, police separated anti-China protesters from flag-waving Chinese who turned out to support their nation and the Olympics.\u003cbr/\u003eLater, police hustled a torchbearer onto an official bus after he was surrounded by a 100 activists. \u003cbr/\u003eThe torch then travelled part of the journey toward St. Paul's Cathedral by bus instead, police said.\u003cbr/\u003eAt around 5.15 pm (1615GMT) the relay boarded a boat at Canary Wharf Pier for its final leg towards North Greenwich and the site of the former Millennium Dome, now known as the O2 stadium.\u003cbr/\u003eOnce there the torch was passed to Arsenal footballer Theo Walcott before being passed to Dame Kelly Homes who finally lit the Olympic Cauldron.\u003cbr/\u003eUK Princess Royal Princess Anne, addressed the gathered crowds saying the games would be a great celebration of sporting achievement. \u003cbr/\u003e\"But not only that\", she added. \"Not only moments of sporting excellence, but also a time for the people of the world to learn more about each other, to exchange and share the strength of the olympic values of excellence, respect and friendship through common interests.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe Executive Vice-President of the Beijing Organising Committee, Jiang Xiaoyu, was then heckled as he addressed the crowd, although his message was a simple \"thanks to the British Olympic Association and the municipal government and people of London\".\u003cbr/\u003eThe Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone then exchanged gifts with Jiang Xiaoyu, and the London leg of the Olympic relay was all but done.\u003cbr/\u003eActivists demonstrating against China's human rights record and a recent crackdown on Tibet have been protesting along the torch route since the start of the flame's 85-thousand-mile (140-thousand-kilometre) odyssey from Ancient Olympia in Greece to Beijing.\u003cbr/\u003eThe torch's global tour, the longest in Olympic history, is meant to highlight China's growing economic and political power.\u003cbr/\u003eBut it also has offered protest groups abundant opportunity to draw attention to their concerns.\u003cbr/\u003eThe 80 torchbearers also included British tennis player Tim Henman and violinist Vanessa Mae. \u003cbr/\u003eSeveral dropped out to protest China's human rights record - including Richard Vaughan, Britain's top badminton player, who said China was not doing enough to stop violence in the Sudanese region of Darfur.\u003cbr/\u003eMany though had no such objections, including Leon Taylor who won a silver medal in Athens in 2004 for the synchronised 10 metre platform dive.\u003cbr/\u003eHe told AP Television that carrying the torch had been a \"fantastic honour\".\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton
