The Flame of Hope is an eternal flame located in London, Ontario, Canada, that honours Sir Frederick Banting's discovery of insulin, as well as all those who have been affected by diabetes. Simultaneously, it serves as a reminder that insulin manages diabetes but does not cure it; ultimately, it stands for the hope that a cure will soon be found. The Flame will only be extinguished when a cure for diabetes is developed. The team responsible for finding the cure will be flown in to do so. The Flame of Hope was kindled before 4,000 spectators by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother on July 7, 1989.
