Mia Rathband: Olympic torch honour was for my dad
The daughter of the late police officer David Rathband says she decided to wear a blindfold only a short time before she took his place on the Olympic torch relay.
The programme hears from other torchbearers including Ben Parkinson, considered to be the most seriously-wounded soldier to survive the war in Afghanistan.
Memorable moments include the torch zip-wiring across the Tyne Bridge, climbing Mount Snowdon, being part of a marriage proposal and dancing in the ballroom at Blackpool.
