The evening event, which has a superb entertainment programme, will feature singer Loick Essien and will be hosted by Ally Pally for Haringey Council on behalf of the London 2012 organisers LOCOG. It will enable thousands of Haringey residents to enjoy the occasion as they wait for the arrival of the final Torchbearer at the Palace.

Ticket holders will be allowed entry from around 4pm and the main stage will come to life at 5pm, showcasing up-and-coming live music acts, acrobatics, dance performances and Haringey Young Musicians.

The event will culminate in the arrival of the final Torchbearer who will light the celebration cauldron on the stage.

The Olympic Torch will enter Alexandra Palace grounds from the Muswell Hill end of Alexandra Palace Way. Following the final torch bearer exchanges (officially each called a “kiss”) the Olympic Flame will make its final journey onto the stage by the Ally Pally Ice Rink where the Olympic Cauldron will be lit. The event is expected to conclude at 7pm.

Those who do not get tickets can still join in the celebrations, by lining the route of the Torch Relay as the Olympic flame is carried from Tottenham to Alexandra Palace.
