Projects to welcome the flame into the city
The Song for Peterborough and Lions and Unicorns projects are
being spearheaded by the city’s media arts specialist school, The
Voyager Academy, with support from Peterborough City Council and
Vivacity.
The Song for Peterborough
The Song for
Peterborough, which will be performed by over 800 local primary
school children and members from local community groups, such as
Peterborough’s Male Voice Choir. The specially written song for the
city, titled ‘There With You’, will be performed live by the group
during the evening of the Olympic Torch arrival celebrations on
July 3 alongside professional musicians and performers.
Lions and Unicorns
Thirty four colourful and creative Lion and Unicorn
sculptures, designed by schools across the city under the watchful
eye of city artist, David William Sampson, lined a section of
the Olympic Torch route as it made its way from Orton Mere to the
Embankment on 3 July.
