The BBC has kicked off its Olympics marketing campaign with a minute-long ad promoting its coverage of the torch relay.

The trail, which you can see here, will run on BBC One, BBC Two and BBC Three.

It features a specially-commissioned Elbow song called 'First Steps', which the band recorded with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, a school choir and the London Community Gospel Choir.

The campaign has been devised by ad agency RKCR/Y&R in tandem with the BBC.
