So that Sylvia Disley - a British Olympic medal winner 56 years ago - could hold the swan vesta aloft and also so that an exhumed Rod Stewart could prove he was really alive.   I think we should be considering Sylvia too:   http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics_2...ies/3842065.stm   An incredibly youthful look for 75 though, it must be said. But maybe the Olympic committee know something about her health that we don't; hence the honour of being the first person in England to hold the lantern. Check her and the swan vesta out in the first photo.   And my god, who is that on photo number 6? Celebrity sleepover changed my life...
