The Olympic flame was carried into the stadium by Sir Steve Redgrave, the five-time gold medal-winning rower and the first of seven British Olympic heroes honoured in the closing moment of the ceremony. The other heroes were: Lynne Davies, who captained the British Olympic team in 1980 and 1984; Duncan Goodhew, who won swimming gold in 1980; Dame Kelly Holmes, who won gold at 800m and 1500m in 2004; Dame Mary Peters, who won gold in the pentathlon in 1972, Shirley Robertson, who won gold for sailing on 2000; and Daley Thompson, the decathlon champion of 1980 and 1984.
