More than 6,500 people have been informed that they have been picked to take part in the Olympic Torch Relay in the run up to next year's games.

One of them is 84 year-old Moira Starkey: she raised over £10,000 for a breast cancer charity in Hereford by completing her first marathon this year.

The BBC's Jon Sopel spoke to her.
