By Louise Eccles and Adam Shergold PUBLISHED: 04:36 EST, 30 July 2012 | UPDATED: 09:06 EST, 30 July 2012 The Olympic cauldron was extinguished last night as the flame was relocated to another part of the stadium. The flame's cauldron, a symbol of the Olympic movement, is supposed to burn for the entirety of the Games but organisers have confirmed it was put out temporarily so the 28ft high structure could be moved to the edge of the stadium. This revelation will add to controversy about the location of the flame, which is only visible to those who have tickets to events in the main stadium.
