By now its common knowledge that Amitabh Bachchan was invited to carry the London Olympics torch at a function held in Southwark earlier today. We bring you pics from the same.
Other eminent personalities who were a part of this event with Big B included names like Lawrence Dallaglio, Lewis Moody, Jim Anderson, Phil Packer, Darren Fitzpatrick and Tom Davis.
Speaking about this unique experience, Bachchan blogged, "This is an incredible honor, humbling and so full of pride and emotion. A moment that fills me with all that reflects the spirit of the Games - a certain respectability and dignity that it offers, to all people and communities of the world, to come and compete in their respective skills in an atmosphere free from discrimination."
