Olympic torch: Queen to greet relay flame at Windsor Castle

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh will greet the Olympic flame when it visits Windsor Castle on Tuesday, day 53 of the torch relay.

The torch will be carried by Sir Roger Bannister, who first broke the four minute mile, and Britain's greatest Olympian, rower Sir Steve Redgrave.

Olympic gold medal-winning heptathlete Denise Lewis and jockey Frankie Dettori will also take on the flame, at Ascot.

The relay will travel 87 miles from Oxford to Reading during the day.

It will be carried by 111 torchbearers and visit the 2012 rowing venue Eton Dorney before ending the day with a celebration at Reading Football Club's Madejski Stadium.

The day starts at 07:05 BST at Iffley Road Stadium in Oxford, where Sir Roger became the first man to run a mile in under four minutes, in a time of three minutes, 59.4 seconds on 6 May 1954.

He will carry the torch at the track before handing it over to Nicola Byrom, 25, who will run a lap.

She is an Oxford psychology student who launched an organisation to provide self help groups for students with eating disorders.

The torch will visit Windsor Castle in the afternoon, at about 14:45 BST. It will be carried past St George's Chapel and into the quadrangle, to the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.

Also there will be people who took part in the Games in London in 1948, including gymnast George Weedon, torchbearer Michael Adams and volunteer Pamela Cook.

Sir Steve Redgrave, who won five gold medals at consecutive Olympic Games, will carry the flame on a boat on the Thames at Henley.

He will cross the river to his boat club, Leander, just after 09:30 BST.

Later in the morning, the Olympic flame will also visit Eton Dorney Lake, the venue for rowing and canoe sprint at London 2012.

There, it will be carried by Sarah Winckless, who won bronze in the double sculls at Athens 2004 with her rowing partner Elise Lavericat.

On Tuesday afternoon, it will be carried at Ascot by Sydney 2000 heptathlon gold medallist and Atlanta 1996 bronze medallist Lewis. She also won European and Commonwealth gold and will pass the flame on to Dettori, who will be on a horse.

The 1994, 1995 and 2004 champion jockey made history at the course in 1996 when he won all seven races in a single day.

The torch will also be carried by chefs Raymond Blanc and Heston Blumenthal and former England football captain Ray Wilkins.

The day's last torchbearer will be Quentin Gunderson who works for a charity-run school for pupils in educational crisis and has challenged himself to run the equivalent of 40 marathons in his 40th year to raise funds.

He will carry the flame into the evening celebration and light the cauldron at the Madejski Stadium in Reading, where the city's football club, just promoted back to the Premier League, and Premiership rugby union club London Irish play.

The route travels through though Oxford, Abingdon, Wallingford, Crowmarsh Gifford, Nettlebed, Henley-on-Thames, Bisham, Maidenhead, Burnham, Slough, Windsor, Egham, Ascot, Bracknell and Reading.

On Monday, Prime Minister David Cameron visited the relay in Woodstock, Oxfordshire to meet the cancer campaigner Clive Stone MBE, who he nominated to run.

A total of 8,000 people will carry the flame during its 8,000 mile, 70-day journey to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in London on 27 July.
