There's a chance today (Friday) to nominate a worthy local resident for the honour of a lifetime.
A replica of the 2012 Olympic Torch is on the Isle of Man on a tour of the British Isles.
It will be on display in Regent Street in Douglas, between 10am and 5pm.
The llifesize replica is the focal point of a large trailer display depicting the history of the torch relay, and local residents can hop aboard a London taxi to record a video nomination for the person they think should bear the real torch on its way to the London Games next year.
Lucy Felton is Olympic Ambassador for tour partner Lloyds TSB (listen to audio file below):
