Just for Teddington Lock - Olympic Torch

[boatone]

Looks like you will be having an extra special lock transit in July !

The Olympic torch is also set to pass through Teddington on the day of the opening ceremony. The torch will be travelling down the Thames from Hampton Court on a river barge towards Stratford Olympic Park – passing through Teddington Lock on its journey.

...and the rowers will be doing their bit at Henley.....

To me that means being lit while in a lock. The torch will be already in flame.
So the regulation doesn't apply.
