残疾运动员汇聚伦敦，参加2012年残疾人奥运会。
今年的残疾人奥运会（Paralympics）预期将是残奥会历史上规模最大的一次盛会。1948年首届残奥会仅有为数不多的英国二战伤残老兵参加。
参加这次残奥会的有来自大约160个国家的4000多名残疾运动员。仅美国就派出了227名成员组成的代表队。欧巴马总统赞扬这些运动员为“我们的孩子树立了新的榜样”。
为了彰显英伦四岛的独特个性，分别来自4地的圣火火种将汇集伦敦，迎接8月29日开幕的2012年残奥会。
由残疾和非残疾队员组成的英国小分队分别登上[英格兰]斯科菲尔峰（Scafell Pike，England）、 [威尔士]斯诺登/伊尔怀德法峰（Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa，Wales）、 [苏格兰]本尼维斯山（Ben Nevis，Scotland)以及 [北爱尔兰]多纳德山（Slieve Donard，Northern Ireland)，并在峰顶采用传统的摩擦火石取火法点燃圣火。上述每一座山峰都是该地的最高点。上图为苏格兰登山好手、左手有残缺的凯文·希尔兹（Kevin Shields）在本尼维斯山顶峰手持在苏格兰点燃的残奥会火炬。

Nations join together in the 2012 Paralympic Games.
This year’s Paralympics are expected to be the largest in a history that dates back to 1948 with a small group of disabled British World War II veterans.
The games are bringing together more than 4,000 athletes with a disability from some 160 countries. The United States alone has sent a 227-member team. President Obama lauded the athletes for “becoming new role models to our children.”
In recognition of the unique identities of the four nations of the United Kingdom, flames from each will be commingled in London for the 2012 Paralympic Games, which start August 29.
Groups of disabled and nondisabled British Scouts climbed Scafell Pike (England), Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa (Wales), Ben Nevis (Scotland) and Slieve Donard (Northern Ireland), where each group lit a flame using the traditional technique of rubbing flint together. Each peak is the highest in its nation. In this photo, Scottish mountaineer Kevin Shields, who is missing part of his left hand, is carrying the Scottish Paralympic Flame on top of Ben Nevis.
