PHOTO: David Beckham on a plane with the Olympic flame

ByStarcasm Staff

David Beckham escorted the Olympic flame from Greece to England yesterday, and posted on Facebook this photo of himself riding with the flame on a plane (note the flames got the window seats.)

To commemorate the flame’s arrival in England, Beckham lit a cauldron on the tarmac, and then lit a torch. The flame flies again to Land’s End, where it will light a torch that will be carried by 8,000 people across Britain.

The flame was lit May 10 from the rays of the sun by parabolic mirror in a ceremony at Olympic Greece.
