The Olympic torch completed its final lap in Asia today by passing through New Delhi, the sixth city to receive the flame on its world tour in the run-up to the Athens Games.
Thousands braved the summer heat and lined up along the pavements to watch leading athletes and celebrities carry the torch around the city.
The six-hour run culminated with former 400 metres runner Milkha Singh passing the flame to shooter Anjali Vedpathak Bhagwat, who lit a cauldron at the national stadium.
People packed into the stadium to witness a cultural show, which was attended by Pakistani Olympic officials highlighting the recent thaw in diplomatic relations between the two countries.
The flame will travel next to Cairo for its African leg.
It will return to Greece on July 9th for a final homecoming tour before entering the Olympic stadium in Athens on August 13th.
