Knutsford Academy pupils interview George at Olympic Torch Relay

On Thursday 31st May, the Olympic Torch relay reached Knutsford and students Jane and Ted from Knutsford Academy caught up with George for an interview.

School reporters from schools throughout the country have been following the Olympic relay route in their area to produce a daily page on all 70 days of the relay for the BBC.

George said:

"It feels great, I was really excited when I actually saw the torch. I remember when the Olympics were first awarded to London about six or seven years ago, people wondered whether if in the north-west of England, in Cheshire, if it would mean anything to us here.

"But it does because it's a national event and the fact you've got thousands of kids here today at Tatton Park and lining the streets of Knutsford goes to show that."
