Flame in New York

The Olympic flame stopped off at the UN yesterday, as part of its world tour.

Kofi Annan lit an altar in front of the UN, which had been designed for the flame. Much was made of the symbolism of the visit of the flame to the UN.

Peace and goodwill to men were very much on peoples' minds at the ceremony.
