Ane who is the woman on the top of the London Eye?

Amelia Hempleman-Adams took the torch on a trip on the giant observation wheel on the south side of the River Thames on Sunday, riding atop one of the Eye's viewing capsules as it slowing rotated.

The 17-year-old Hempleman-Adams was the youngest person to ski to the South Pole last year.
