Young fan strains for glimpse of Olympic flame in England

A young girl squeezes between an honour guard of soldiers to get a glimpse of Johnson Beharry VC carrying the Olympic torch at the National War Memorial on Armed Forces Day, June 30, in Alrewas, Staffordshire, England. Johnson Beharry, holder of the Victoria Cross, the highest military decoration, carried the Olympic flame and respectfully held the torch in front of the Armed Forces Memorial at The National Memorial Arboretum. The Olympic Flame is now on day 43 of a 70-day relay involving 8,000 torchbearers covering 8,000 miles.
