- description: The Olympic flame went out on the third day of the torch relay due to a 'malfunctioning burner', Games organisers have confirmed. The torch was on the side of David Follett's wheelchair in Great Torrington,in Devon when it went out for the first time since arriving in Britain ahead of the Olympics We keep the mother flame in specially designed miners' lanterns so if the flame does go out for some reason on the relay we re-light it from the source of the flame A gust of wind blew out the flame during a ceremony in Olympia, Greece. David Follett a wheelchair badminton champion from nearby Exeter, was able to continue using a substitute torch which had been lit from the mother flame
