The story of the World Peace Flame
On 31st July 1999 for the first time in history seven live flames, lit by eminent peacemakers on five continents, were flown by military and commercial aircraft to the UK, where they were united into one flame: The World Peace Flame.
- The European flame was lit by Irene van Lippe-Biesterfeld, Princess of the Netherlands and flown to the UK by the Dutch Royal Air Force.
- The Canadian flame was lit in an ancient sunrise ceremony by a First Nation Chief.
- The Asian flame was lit at Gandhi’s memorial in Delhi. The fire was taken from the eternal flame which has been burning there since 1947.
- The Australasian flame was lit by representatives of the Aboriginal people and housed in a miner’s lantern donated by the Olympic Committee. It arrived in Britain after an epic 6-day flight, courtesy of the Australian Air Force.
- The American flame was lit on the sacred summit of Pike’s Peak in Colorado.
- The Middle Eastern flame was lit in the ancient cultural hub of Bahrain.
- The African flame. This first flame came to life in the Great Rift Valley, surrounded by the songs of Native African people. And the dream was born...
World Peace Flame monuments are now established across the globe, and their number is steadily increasing. Communities work together to design and build the monuments, which then become catalysts for collaboration involving all areas of society from local to national level.
