While the Olympic flame will bypass the world’s greatest stone circle at Avebury and be driven in a van without so much as a pause right past Silbury, Europe’s greatest prehistoric mound, it will at least be carried by runners right along Silbury Boulevard, Milton Keynes!
Council Leader Andrew Geary said: “The Olympic torch is a symbol of striving for the very best, that super positive attitude which embodies the spirit of Milton Keynes and its residents.”
