As the torch held by Hanlin illuminates the surroundings, its flame symbolically ignites the Byker Olympic bonfire. This act marks the official commencement of an extraordinary celebration that will captivate all who attend. The festival promises days filled with joyous activities and unforgettable experiences. The image captures one mid-adult man only - Bob Hanlin himself - whose age remains unknown but radiates determination and enthusiasm. His presence embodies both strength and grace as he embarks on this significant journey towards Mount Olympus.
