The official website for the Olympic opening and closing ceremonies has a great behind-the-scenes gallery of the impressive multi-torch cauldron that was lit yesterday. The cauldron was designed by Thomas Heatherwick and consists of 204 copper petals representing the competing nations at this year’s games. You can read a bit more about it over on Dezeen.
