As the Olympic flame reached Buckingham Palace yesterday (July 26), the dedicated royal team GB ambassadors were ready and waiting to greet it.

Dressed in patriotic team GB shirts, William, Kate and Harry witnessed the flame pass between three torch bearers; each member of the royal trio had hand-selected a bearer from their royal charities:

“Prince William, Patron of Mountain Rescue England and Wales, selected mountain rescuer John Hulse,” reports the examiner.com. “…the Duchess of Cambridge chose Scout volunteer Jon Sayer and Prince Harry chose Wai-Ming Lee from charity MapAction.”

The torch relay ends at the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games tonight (July 27) .
