Thousands of people watched World War II veteran Jack Andrew deliver the Olympic torch to Meridian Park in Cleethorpes, North East Lincolnshire.

The crowd of more than 10,000 cheered the 92-year-old on as he lit the cauldron.

Mr Andrew has been passionate about sport in Sheffield all his life and still likes to play golf, despite having had both knees replaced.
