Paralympic flames lit at UK's highest peaks

1 of 13
Four groups of Scouts embarked on a challenging climb up four of the UK's highest mountains to create the flame that will light the Paralympic Torch.
The teams climbed Scafell Pike, England's highest peak, Slieve Donard, the highest peak in Northern Ireland, Snowdon, Wales's highest peak, and Ben Nevis, Scotland's highest point.
See how the flame was created on all four summits.
